Fred Sandback (August 29, 1943 - June 23, 2003) was an American conceptual minimalist-based sculptor known for his thread sculptures, drawings and prints. His estate is represented by David Zwirner, New York. Frederick Lane Sandback was born in Bronxville, New York, where, as a young man, he made banjos and dulcimers. He received a BA in philosophy from Yale University (BA, 1966) before studying sculpture at the Yale School of Art (MFA, 1969), where he studied with, among others, visiting professors Donald Judd and Robert Morris. Sandback is known primarily for his minimalist works made with colored thread. The artist's early interest in stringed musical instruments led him to make dulcimers and banjos as a teenager. In 1967, he made the sculpture that would set the terms for his mature work. Using string and wire, he outlined the shape of a 20-foot-long 2-by-4 board lying on the floor. Although early in his career he employed metal wire and bungee cord, the artist soon dispensed with mass and weight by using acrylic thread. His sculptures of thread, bungee cord and wire define edges of virtual forms that ask the viewer's brain to perceive the rest of the form. In this way, his work can be considered visionary or imaginative, as well as minimal and literal. In fact, Sandback was fond of installing "corner" pieces whose shadows aid in this process of completing the form. In describing his work he stated, "It is a consequence of wanting the volume of sculpture without the opaque mass that the lines have" and "However, from the beginning I had a strong gut feeling, which was to want to make a sculpture that had no interior." Sandback himself referred to his sculptures operating in pedestrian space, recognizing both the movement of the viewer through a space as something to actively engage with.

Fred Sandback (29 de agosto de 1943 - 23 de junio de 2003) fue un escultor conceptual de base minimalista estadounidense conocido por sus esculturas de hilo, dibujos y grabados. Su patrimonio está representado por David Zwirner, Nueva York. Frederick Lane Sandback nació en Bronxville, Nueva York, donde, de joven, fabricaba banjos y dulcémeles. Se licenció en filosofía en la Universidad de Yale (BA, 1966) antes de estudiar escultura en la Yale School of Art (MFA, 1969), donde estudió, entre otros, con los profesores visitantes Donald Judd y Robert Morris. Sandback es conocido principalmente por sus obras minimalistas realizadas con hilos de colores. El temprano interés del artista por los instrumentos musicales de cuerda le llevó a fabricar dulcimers y banjos cuando era adolescente. En 1967, realizó la escultura que marcaría las pautas de su obra de madurez. Utilizando cuerda y alambre, perfiló la forma de una tabla de 6 metros de largo de 2 por 4 que estaba en el suelo. Aunque al principio de su carrera empleó hilo metálico y cuerda elástica, el artista pronto prescindió de la masa y el peso utilizando hilo acrílico. Sus esculturas de hilo, cuerda elástica y alambre definen bordes de formas virtuales que piden al cerebro del espectador que perciba el resto de la forma. De este modo, su obra puede considerarse visionaria o imaginativa, además de mínima y literal. De hecho, Sandback era aficionado a instalar piezas de "esquina" cuyas sombras ayudan en este proceso de completar la forma. Al describir su obra declaró: "Es una consecuencia de querer el volumen de la escultura sin la masa opaca que tienen las líneas" y "Sin embargo, desde el principio tuve un fuerte sentimiento visceral, que era querer hacer una escultura que no tuviera interior". El propio Sandback se refirió a sus esculturas operando en el espacio peatonal, reconociendo tanto el movimiento del espectador a través de un espacio como algo con lo que comprometerse activamente.
