Which minimalist artist created felt sculptures?

The minimalist artist who created felt sculptures was Robert Morris.

Morris became a major figure in American Minimalism through works that emphasized simple forms, industrial materials and the viewer’s physical relationship to gallery space. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he began using thick industrial felt, cutting or slicing it and allowing gravity to determine how the pieces hung, folded or rested on the floor. This approach made the material’s weight, flexibility and texture part of the artwork.

One well-known example is Untitled (Pink Felt) from 1970. Rather than presenting felt as a tightly controlled geometric object, Morris arranged many cut pieces in a loose, irregular configuration. The result reflects his interest in process and chance as well as Minimalist reduction.

Eva Hesse is a frequent mix-up because she also used unconventional soft and industrial materials, including latex and fiberglass. Richard Tuttle likewise made delicate, pared-down works, but Morris is the artist most directly identified with the celebrated felt sculptures. His practice also extended into installation, performance, Process Art and land art.
