Gawd.
This is one of those books that make people throw their hands up in the air when it comes to what they call call art criticism. This book really does nothing in terms of truly giving an idea of the scope of minimalism, its origins, who where its ponitificators and supporters and what did it mean if anything(which of course is subjective.). The highbrow language and shoddy foto's did nothing to illuminate this brief but interesting period of art that came after AbEx and alongside Pop.
