The Bucerius Kunst Forum presents in its exhibition Minimal Art outstanding works by the pioneers of this art movement in the 1960s in the USA alongside German and contemporary positions. In line with the aims of Minimal Art, the show explores individual variations in how viewers perceive object-like works in space. This approach revisits the idea of democratising art by creating artworks that can be experienced and understood equally well by everyone, without prior knowledge. Seventeen iconic works thus form the focal point here, by Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, Imi Knoebel, Charlotte Posenenske, Gerold Miller, Frank Gerritz and Jeppe Hein, each of the expansive objects given space to unfold its full effect. The paradigmatic selection conveys both the essential characteristics of Minimal Art and the signature features distinguishing the oeuvre of each artist. The works are on loan from German museums as well as private collections such as the Christoph Seibt Collection Contemporary Art, Hamburg.
