A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The term Minimalism was coined in the 1960s to describe the work of a group of Américan artists, including Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt, who were creating a new kind of abstract art. Inspired by mathematics and industrial processes, the Minimalists created geometric works whose simple forms produced sophisticated explorations of seriality, harmony and space. In addition to providing an accessible introduction to the works, this book documents the careers of Minimalism's leading figures, as well as the practices of artists who were associated with the movement, among them the sculptors Larry Bell, Eva Hesse, John McCracken, Robert Morris and Anne Truitt, and the painters Jo Baer, Robert Mangold, Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, Robert Ryman and Frank Stella. An authority on Minimal and American art of the 1960s, James Meyer presents in this volume the most comprehensive and definitive sourcebook on Minimalism available.
