Primary structures, the use of industrially manufactured materials and a high degree of surface aesthetics are the hallmarks of Minimal Art, which emerged in the USA in the early 1960s. The exhibition at the Bucerius Kunst Forum is the first to examine the sensual side of Minimalism. Perception that changes through the viewers’ movements in space, different lighting moods or spatially expansive objects show Minimal Art as an art that can be felt and experienced by everyone.

The exhibition features works by Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Walter De Maria, Imi Knoebel, Charlotte Posenenske, Gerold Miller, Frank Gerritz, Jeppe Hein and other artists from important German institutions and private collections such as the Seibt Collection.
