Landmark catalog for the exhibition widely regarded as the public introduction of Minimalist sculpture in America, held at the Jewish Museum in New York City from April 27-June 12, 1966. Organized by Kynaston McShine, the exhibition brought together an extraordinary roster of then-emerging artists including Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, Robert Smithson, Anne Truitt, Walter De Maria, Larry Bell, John McCracken, and others whose work would come to define Minimalism and post-Minimalist practice. Featuring the iconic cover design by Elaine Lustig Cohen, one of the most recognizable examples of 1960s exhibition graphics. 4to (8.25” x 9.5”), pictorial wrappers, 51 unnumbered pages, b/w illustrations. With an introduction by Kynaston McShine, brief artist statements throughout, and exhibition histories at the rear. A sharp copy of a foundational document of postwar American art and among the key museum catalogs of the decade. Binding shaken. Light bumping to spine. Some rubbing to extremities, more so to rear wrapper. Contents pristine.
