“Floor Piece (Bench)” is a sculpture created by Robert Morris in 1964, and it is associated with the Minimalism art movement. This artwork exemplifies an austere and geometric form, characteristic of Minimalist sculptures.
The artwork features a long, rectangular, and monochromatic bench, which lies horizontally on the floor. Its minimalist design emphasizes simplicity and form, avoiding any ornate or intricate details. The piece is made to engage with the space it occupies, highlighting the relationship between object, viewer, and environment without distraction from unnecessary embellishments. This approach aligns with the principles of Minimalism, where the emphasis is placed on the artwork’s materiality, spatial dynamics, and fundamental essence.
