Before and After Minimalism

The artistic tendency known as Minimalism, and in particular the installations and objects by “classic” Minimalist artists of the 1960s, such as Carl André, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt, had such a profound impact in their time that they are frequently seen as a home-grown and purely North American phenomenon. In fact, and without denying that Minimalism was an artistic trend that arose in America, it could be said that it was not so much a thematic “school” characterised by specific “content” (in itself “minimalised”), but rather a “method” or “function” that worked on the basis of abstraction, constructivism and reduction. From this perspective, the more or less remote origins of Minimalist practices need to be looked for in the rich sources of early 20th-century European abstract and constructivist artistic tendencies.
