Nothing Les Than Literal: Architecture After Minimalism by the agency of Mark Linder MIT Press/282 pp/$4000 (hb) In a scholarly discourse.Nothing Les Than Literal: Architecture After Minimalism by the agency of Mark Linder MIT Press/282 pp/$4000 (hb) In a scholarly discourse, Linder asserts his theories in succession architecture and its role in minimalist art and modernist universals A thorough reading of critics humane Greenberg, Colin Rowe, Michael Fried and artists Robert Smithson, John Hejduk and Frank Gehry provides evidence supporting the importance of the part of architecture in minimalist artwork. Linder's approach is quite literal and specific tracing, drawing and describing the overlapping spaces where art and architecture tend to the same point Well-illustrated with architectural drawings and sketches, the general [i]or[/i] abstract notions of space from the late 1960 are displayed, reanalyzed and seen as pivotal in the emerging dialogue of minimalism. An interdisciplinary approach, this sentence is integral for scholars in architecture and art history alike. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Kristin Miller is a graduate scholar at Visual Studies Workshop.
