Minimal Art by Gregory Battcock

A Critical Anthology

A concise critical anthology that defines and surveys the minimalist movement of the 1960s, bringing together essays, interviews, and artists’ statements to explain its emphasis on pared-down form, industrial materials, repetition, literal objecthood, and viewer perception. It situates the work as a reaction against gestural abstraction, offers close readings of key practitioners and works, and debates the aesthetic and theoretical issues that shaped minimalism’s development.
