Postminimalism
Postminimalism is an artistic trend that emerged in the late 1960s, reacting to and extending the ideas of Minimalism.
About the Movement
Postminimalism retains Minimalism's interest in simple forms and industrial materials, but often introduces elements of process, chance, and organic materials. It tends to be more personal and expressive than Minimalism, embracing sensuality, and imperfections.
Key figures include: Eva Hesse, Richard Serra, and Bruce Nauman.
Postminimalist works often explore the body, the effects of gravity, and the passage of time, emphasizing the physicality of materials and the process of art-making.
