Other Primary Structures
The landmark 1966 Jewish Museum exhibition Primary Structures introduced Minimalist sculpture to the United States, spotlighting then-unknown artists like Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, and Sol LeWitt. Its accompanying catalogue, created by Kynaston McShine, became a foundational resource for understanding Minimalist art. Other Primary Structures brings this classic, out-of-print text back into circulation in a beautifully designed two-volume set.
The first volume replicates the original catalogue, preserving its historical significance. The second, authored by Jens Hoffmann, expands the narrative with a global perspective, showcasing key Minimalist sculptors from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Together, these volumes present a comprehensive survey of Minimalist sculpture from the 1960s and 1970s, broadening the focus beyond the American and British artists featured in the original.
Encased in a clear jacket that nods to the original’s iconic design, this reissue is both a collector’s piece and an essential resource for modern art history. Other Primary Structures offers new insights into the evolution of Minimalist sculpture, making it invaluable for scholars, students, and art enthusiasts alike.
