Summary:
This monograph explores the vast body of work by New York artist Harvey Quaytman (1937–2002). It is a comprehensive overview of more than 40 years of painting. Harvey Quaytman’s interpretation of 1960s Minimalism and Hard-edge abstraction culminated in work that swayed between two and three dimensions. The result was sometimes odd but always elegant : arching forms appear like wedged shoehorns within the pictorial space, gently exposing painting’s material infrastructure.

Summary:
David Chipperfield's architecture stands for clarity and minimalism, for a successful combination of proven ideas and innovation.

Summary:
John Cage's disdain for records was legendary. He repeatedly spoke of the ways in which recorded music was antithetical to his work. In Records Ruin the Landscape, David Grubbs argues that, following Cage, new genres in experimental and avant-garde music in the 1960s were particularly ill suited to be represented in the form of a recording. These activities include indeterminate music, long-duration minimalism, text scores, happenings, live electronic music, free jazz, and free improvisation.
