“Split into two exhibitions (with two different closing dates, take note), The Language of Less (Then and Now) looks at the reductive visual language of Minimalism. The Then side of the exhibition features the historical artwork of the movement as it emerged in the 1960s. Often over-simplified as an art movement of a visual simplification, the exhibition indicates that the various strands and interests of the artists are not so easily summarized. While Frank Stella may be pursuing the combination of paint and canvas to their flattest and most formal iteration in "Clinton Plaza," work from Robert Smithson, Sol LeWitt, and Donald Judd all suggest generative possibilities and combinations. Reductive as their work is, it could likewise be infinitely expandable.”
