Major Minimalists FEATURING WORKS BY ELLSWORTH KELLY, ROBERT MORRIS AND MORE

Minimalists thought that art should not be representative of anything but itself. Removing metaphor, reference, and expressive narrative from their work, Minimalists turned their focus onto the materials themselves, confronting their weight, substance, texture, and construction. Artists like Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Sol LeWitt, and Ellsworth Kelly are considered the pioneers of Minimalism—but in this month’s edition of “The Other Art History” we reveal a whole slew of women artists who made great contributions (despite little recognition) in the field, specifically within the Bauhaus movement.
