Description

Minimal Conditions explores the evolution of sculpture in the 1970s Los Angeles area, where California Light and Space art played a key role in minimalism's shift toward dematerialization. Dawna L. Schuld examines the work of artists such as Robert Irwin, James Turrell, Doug Wheeler, Larry Bell, Eric Orr, and Maria Nordman, considering their pieces not as discrete objects but as diverse species of experience.

Schuld proposes a method of analysis that identifies perceptual, philosophical, and historical common ground shared by minimal artists working on both coasts and in the desert landscape. This study offers a compelling perspective on the contingent and embodied nature of these artworks.
