Many minimalist artists were sculptors concerned with reducing form to its utmost simplicity. They used flat surface colors, factory finishes, and industrial materials. The use of serial repetitions contributed to their goal. Artists such as Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, and Richard Serra were associated with the movement.The exhibition ³Primary Structures,² held in New York in 1966, spotlighted works of this school. Minimalism gave rise to process art, earthworks, performance art, and conceptual art. |
