About Robert Morris: Robert Morris was a preeminent American Conceptual artist regarded as one of the early proponents of Minimalism. In one of his best-known series, Morris hung sculpted pieces of dense felt on the wall, the resulting drooping shape, acted as a challenge to painting while offering a new format for sculpture. “There's information and there's the object; there's the sensing of it; there's the thinking that connects to process,” he once explained. “It's on different levels. And I like using those different levels.” Born on February 9, 1931 in Kansas City, MO, he studied sculpture at Hunter College in New York and graduated in 1963. One of his works from this era, Steam (1967), consisted of a cloud of steam continuously rising from a large block of rocks, and is regarded as an early example of Land Art. Also an accomplished writer and theorist, he wrote a seminal essay outlining the basis of Minimalism titled Notes on Sculpture, first published in Artforum in 1966. Morris has been the subject of many solo exhibitions, including at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1970 and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1994. The artist died in November 2018 in upstate New York from pneumonia at the age of 87. Today, his works are held in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Tate Gallery in London, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, among others.

  • Venedig 1997 Minimalist Conceptual Architectural Silkscreen
    By Gerhard Merz
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Genre: Other Subject: Architecture Medium: Print Surface: Paper Country: Germany Dimensions: 19 3/4" x 15 3/4" Dimensions w/Frame: 22 3/4" x 19" Gerhard Merz Venedig 1997 1998 From the portfolio Sequences printed on Magnani rag paper. print 50 x 40 cm (19¾ x 15¾"), signed and numbered. Edition of 60. Gerhard Merz, born 1947 in Mammendorf near Munich, lives and works in Berlin and Pescia, Italy. Gerhard Merz, who has occasionally been labeled a modern classicist, uses the elements of art - measurement, form and light - in a careful reconsideration of modernism. These three prints document the idea, the architectural plan, and the realized art space at the German Pavillion of the Venice Biennale 1997: brick walls, plaster and fluorescent light - clarity and blankness. »The beautiful is mute and blank.« Gerhard Merz (born 25 May 1947 in Mammendorf , Kreis Fürstenfeldbruck ) is a German artist. From 1969 to 1973, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and became a student in the masterclass of Rudi Tröger . Between 1964 and 1969, inspired by Francis Bacon and Uwe Lausen, expressive pictures emerged and subsequently metal sculptures. Since the beginning of the 1970s, he has been increasingly successful with spatial installations in which he drew references to the history of literature and art, as well as to political history, as well as the development of large-format, monochrome images with lines of pencil strokes. In the building of the Federal Foreign Office in Bonn, he designed a wall through a large polychromatic mosaic. Starting in 1977, he was represented at Documenta in Kassel four times in a row. In 1983 he was awarded the Arnold-Bode-Prize of the documenta – City of Kassel . In 1991 he received a reputation as a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf . In 1998/1999 he was commissioned to design the rooms within the framework of the old building renovation of the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin in a joint project with the architect Hans Kollhoff...
