artconcrete.blogspot.com is also collecting concrete related art and I found Max Bill's sculpture there.
Concrete art was closely related to constructivism, an earlier movement that tried to reflect the industrial world by constructing art or sculpture through processes similar to what industry might have used. "Constructivism is a purely technical mastery and organisation of materials," said a 1923 manifesto. You can understand how constructivism influenced concrete art in the avoidance of meaning and symbolism.
Will follow Art Concrete in the future - hope they'll carry on with interesting findings from the world of concrete art.
