This simple proposal soon bred others. From Louise Bourgeois to Carl Andre, it seemed that the work of the most important contemporary sculptors had some sort of sugary counterpart. Just as Minimalist artists went to the industrial suppliers along New York City’s Canal Street, Shore and Root frequented candy stores in search of new ideas and materials.

In the process of creating their Confectionery History of Contemporary Sculpture, they found that looking at art through candy-colored glasses doesn’t just make you hungry; it reveals sticky similarities and sweet juxtapositions unaccounted for by contemporary art history.
