About this title

Synopsis

A modern-day meditation on the beauty, rigor, luxury and understated power of high Minimalism. Featuring just one important and iconic piece each by Larry Bell, Craig Kauffman, John McCracken, Fred Sandback and James Turrell, and two by Robert Irwin, all made between 1965 and 1971, this 20-page exhibition catalogue delivers a condensed and almost invisible kind of optical dazzle that literally unfolds before the reader's eyes. Each artwork is magnificently reproduced on a gatefold page whose cover is die cut with the artist's name. Titles and descriptive texts are printed in pearlescent silver and white ink. The gossamer exposed coptic binding is sewn, with stitching exposed. And the texts, all by Adrian Dannatt, are insightful, original and highly poetic. Limited edition of 1500, each numbered with a hand stamp.

About the Author

Born in 1928 in California, Robert Irwin began his career as an Abstract Expressionist painter. His reductive rigor led him from early, exuberant paintings in the 50s, through line and dot paintings and discs in the 60s, to cast-acrylic columns in 1971, which marked the end of his object-making. Irwin has taught at many university art programs, developing the University of California, Irvine's esteemed graduate visual arts program in 1968. The first artist to receive a MacArthur Fellowship Award (in 1984), Irwin has received numerous honorary doctorates and a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 1993, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, initiated a major retrospective, which traveled to Paris, Madrid and Cologne. Among Irwin's numerous public projects are the Central Garden design for the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the master plan for the building and landscape of New York's Dia:Beacon, for which he was consulting artist/architect. Irwin lives and works in San Diego.

James Turrell is one of the founders of the California light and space art movement of the late 1960s and early 70s.
