Label TextScott Burton worked primarily as an installation and performance artist before shifting into minimalist sculpture in the late 1970s. The indoor and outdoor monumental chair and bench forms he is perhaps best known for today show his interest in the reinterpretation of furniture design and adherence to Minimalism.
