A Deep Dive Into Our Contemporary Minimalism Collection

“The aim of art is to create space – space that is not compromised by decoration or illustration, space within which the subjects of painting can live.” – Frank Stella

 Minimalist art flourished in the late 1950s and 1960s in New York City with artists like Frank Stella, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Carl Andre and Sol Lewitt defining the genre.

Artist Frank Stella

These artists queried traditional art practices, leaning towards a more purified form. Minimalist art represents truth and simplicity, or as Frank Stellar put it, “What you see is what you see”.

Traditionally, minimalist art could be typified by geometric shapes without any flourishes or decorations. Some see it as a simplified version of abstract art.

These days, contemporary minimalism continues to represent the same principles of the 1960s, through photography, paintings and sculpture.

At Art Lovers Australia we sell contemporary minimalist pieces from a variety of talented Australian artists who uphold the same principles of the 1960s through their artwork.
