Post-Minimalism grew out of American Minimalism during the late 1960s, a reaction against the impersonal and rigid forms seen in the earlier movement. Post-Minimalism is a broad category that incorporates elements of Anti-Form, Process Art, and Conceptual Art. It is categorized by softer forms, unusual art materials like latex or felt, a greater reflection of the artist's touch, and an acute awareness of the viewer's physical relationship to the artwork.

For this month's session, we will look at work by Richard Tuttle, Richard Serra, Eva Hesse, Barry Le Va, and Jackie Winsor. To prepare, read Richard Tuttle's interview from Art 21 here and the excerpt from Jackie Winsor's 1998 interview here.
