Editorial Reviews
Review
"The great virtue of the collection is to present a map of contemporary critical opinion in America." -- Times Literary Supplement
From the Inside Flap
"So perspicuous was Battcock's choice of articles in Minimal Art that his book has proved to be an exceptionally telling index of the critical discourse of its time. This is the key primary source book--for that matter it remains the key book--on the subject of Minimal Art, a movement that has lately, newly become a topic of consuming interest to many modern art historians, critics, curators and artists."--Anna C. Chave, author of Mark Rothko: Subjects in Abstraction
"Good criticism of contemporary art movements is both rare and scattered, and readers with access to a wide range of periodicals and catalogue introductions are few. . . Minimal Art is so obviously the most important movement of the 1960s, and equally certainly will continue to be so in the early 1970s, that this anthology will be a valuable compilation of statements by artists and assessments by critics."--David Irwin, Apollo

Groundbreaking anthology that became a classic....,
By Pick This Book ! (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Minimal Art: A Critical Anthology (Paperback)
Exceptionally important critical anthology of early writings on Minimal and Conceptual Art. This 454 pages illuminating volume includes essays by Gregory Battcock (the volume's editor) and texts by a garden variety of art historians, critics and curators:
Lawrence Alloway (Systemic Painting), Michael Benedikt (Sculpture as Architecture), Mel Bochner (Serial Art, Systems, Solipsism), David Bourdon (The Razed Sites of Carl Andre), Nicolas Calas (Subject Matter in the Work of Barnett Newman), Michael Fried (Art and Objecthood), Bruce Glaser (Questions to Frank Stella and Donald Judd), E.C. Goossen (Two Exhibitions), Clement Greenberg (Recentness of Sculpture), Peter Hutchinson (Mannerism in the Abstract), David Lee (A Systematic Revery from Abstraction to Now), Allen Leepa (Minimal ARt and Primary Meanings), Lucy R. Lippard (Eros Presumptive), Robert Morris (Notes on Sculpture), Toby Mussman (Literalness and the Infinitte), Brian O. Doherty (Minus Plato), John Perreault (Minimal Abstracts), Yvonne Rainer (A Quasi Survey of Some "Minimalist" Tendencies in the Quantitatively Minimal Dance Activity Midst the Plethora, or an Analysis of Trio A), Barbara Rose (A B C Art), Harold Rosenberg (Defining Art), Irving Sandler (Gesture and Non-Gesture in Recent Sculpture), Willoughby Sharp (Luminism and Kineticism), Elayne Varian (Schemata 7), Samuel Wagstaff Jr. (Talking with Tony Smith), Richard Wollheim (Minimal Art), and writings by artists Martial Raysse, Dan Flavin, Robert Smithson. In the late 1950's, Gregory Battcock (1937-1980) was an abstract painter in New York City's downtown art scene. He acted in several Andy Warhol experimental films ("Horse" and "Drunk"). Minimal Art: A Critical Anthology is his first book. He published several other titles on Contemporary Arts, Cinema and Music through the 1970's. He was publisher of a short-lived, but daring, magazine called Trylon & Perisphere, which explored the New York art under-world of that time. He was also the Editor of Arts Magazine until his untimely passing when he was murdered on the balcony of his vacation condominium during the night of December 25, 1980, in San Juan, Puerto Rico...

This review is from: Minimal Art: A Critical Anthology (Paperback)
I got a good deal on the book, because it was used. The book had a bit of damage to the cover, but otherwise in great condition. I was overall happy with the purchase.
