Add to wish list

In the 1960's art world, in response to the flamboyant self-indulgence of Abstract Expressionism, there arose a cold, bare-bones art form called Minimalism. Using examples ranging from small-scale sculpture to massive earthworks, San Francisco art critic Kenneth Baker traces the history of one of the century's most important and long-lived art movements.128 illus. 48 in color.

Reader reviews for Minimalism: A War Story

From the publisher

Examines how the Minimalists removed illusion and habits of perception from their art, essential starting with nothing, and forced viewers to do the same. Illustrated with works ranging from small-scale sculpture to massive earthworks, the text traces the trends Minimalism succeeded and preceded.
