Art Minimalism
Art Minimalism (often called “Minimal Art” or “ABC Art”) is an extreme form of abstract art that emerged in New…
Main Focus: Radical Simplicity, Objectivity, and Structure
Aesthetic: Geometric Forms, Modular Repetition
Materials: Industrial and Anonymous (Steel, Plywood, Concrete)
Key Concept: The Viewer’s Physical Relationship to the Object in Space
Minimalism, emerging in the 1960s, was an American movement that sought radical simplification, stripping art down to its essential, anonymous forms. Artists rejected the emotional expressiveness of Abstract Expressionism and the complex narrative of Pop Art, demanding that the artwork be nothing more than the object itself—simple, geometric, and impersonal.
The defining characteristic is the use of simple, industrial materials (like metal, plywood, or fluorescent lights) and repeated, modular units. Minimalist works are often presented as Specific Objects that command attention not through representation, but through their physical presence in the space. The viewer’s perception of the object, its scale, and the surrounding environment becomes the subject of the art. There is no narrative, no hidden meaning, and no ornamentation—only the pure form.
This curated collection features key works that embody the radical clarity and precision of Minimalism. We focus on pieces that showcase the movement’s commitment to industrial fabrication, geometric repetition, and the absence of the artist’s hand, highlighting the transition from subjective expression to objective statement.
Our collection is a study in structure and presence. We present masters who elevated basic industrial materials to the level of high art, inviting the viewer to engage directly with the object’s physical reality. Acquiring a Minimalist work means investing in a piece of modernism that emphasizes clarity, intellect, and the enduring power of simple form.
