Minimalism was a movement originating in the 1960's that, like Pop Art, was a reaction to the emotion and expression of the Abstract Expressionists. Minimalists would work with very elemental and simple forms, colors, shapes and materials. Minimalism was particularly dominant in modern sculpture.

The basic premise of the movement was to create art that meant nothing but still held artistic value. It could be called Dada with value. Nevertheless, Minimalism has endured several decades and continues to be regarded as influential and important.

"But, after all, 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
