Summary:

"Minimal Conditions explores the expansion of sculpture into phenomenal and perception-based practices in and around the Los Angeles area in the 1970s, establishing a key role for California Light and Space art in the evolution of minimal art toward dematerialization. Taking into consideration the contingent and embodied nature of this work, the book proposes and demonstrates a method of analysis that considers these works not as discrete objects, but as diverse species of experience"--Provided by publisher.
