When i look at the work of minimal artist i often think of a serie, a sequence of illuminated parts, colors, an spatial, poetic arrangement of surfaces. Space in, around and between. The continuity between the spectator and the object- thats the difference between the art of the Minimalists and the art afterwards. Previously the object was held in its own cultural aura in a separate room. Sculptures are now in between cultures, between architecture, jewels, monuments and ornaments.
The enormous expansion of space that you see often in the sculptural work of Minimal artists, you can also notice this in drawings. Take Stella as en example. He explains that his drawings create space and that V-space envelops the viewer:
"An effective painting should present its space in such a way as to include both viewer and maker each with his own space intact. It is not that this experience should be literal; it is simply that the sense of space projected by the painting should seem expansive: expansive enough to include the viewing and the creation of that space"
