Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-04 00:00:00 Patrick Reed Um livro introdutório interessante, útil por sua contextualização da Mininal Art em relação aos expressionismo abstrato e ao reunir várias experimentações individuais que iriam confluir em características mais ou menos coesas na década de 60. Além de uma ótima qualidade gráfica e no acabamento do livro, o que é sempre muito bom quando se fala de um livro de arte.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-01 00:00:00 Francesco Paolino More a catalog of artworks than an introductory text. The first 30 pages are an essay piece giving an introduction of the movement and biographical details of a few artists. (the usual ones, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd and Robert Morris). The rest are all double spreads for individual artwork ,curiously, ordered in alphabetical order by the artist's surname. Some contexts and interpretation are given for each piece but the tone is often promotional than critical and they soon become quite repetitive. (Well, the author is an art gallery owner.) Describing the work of Carl Andre (a set of boilerplates on the ground in a chessboard arrangement), the author gave us this hyperbole : "The work appears to have clicked in with the molecular structure of the surrounding room so that none of its elements can evade being reevaluated". Oh, you don't say.
