This symposium explores a key period in American art to focus on two tendencies generally regarded as polar opposites—minimalism and photo-realism. Minimalism’s impact is traced in works using light, land and installation art, as well as through feminist practice and in architecture, to examine resonances today. The importance of realism, a much-neglected aspect of the period, is also considered. Building on from two highly successful past events—Action. Painting. Now. (NGA 2012) and Minimal. Conceptual.
