Mangold’s work is characterised by restrained, rectilinear compositions that explore the interplay of line, plane and colour. He frequently employs repeated shapes, subtle variations in hue and overlapping planes to create a visual tension that is both ordered and enigmatic. Beyond the canvas, Mangold has engaged with architectural space, producing site-specific works and installations that extend his geometric investigations into three dimensions, emphasising the interaction between artwork, viewer and environment. Throughout his career, he has maintained a rigorous commitment to clarity, proportion and balance, avoiding the expressive excesses of earlier abstraction in favour of a contemplative, analytical approach.
His influence extends across generations of American artists, shaping conversations about Minimalism, perception and formal restraint. Mangold’s works are held in major collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, and he has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at leading institutions.
