A Turning Point in Contemporary Art: Minimal Art

2015, DergiPark (Istanbul University)

Abstract

The minimalism is the first art movement at international scale emerging in the US by artists during 1960s as a reaction to the Abstract Expressionism movement. The minimalist approach having its apparent and clear uniqueness in the field of sculpture excludes the figurative allusions to eliminate the borders between the art and the life.
