In the 1960s in Germany, a new kind of Minimalism developed that was initially largely independent from the developments in America at the time. This German Minimalism was in many cases stimulated by, but also in conflict with, Concrete Art and the European Zero avant-garde, which drew attention to itself from 1957 on, starting in Düsseldorf, with unusually staged exhibitions and spectacular projects for public space. The presentation discusses important trends in 1960s abstract art in Germany: Constructivism, Zero, Minimal Art, Concept und Seriality. Starting from predecessors in the 1950s—such as Josef Albers, Norbert Kricke, Franz Erhard Walther—the documentation of developments in abstract art in the cities of Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Krefeld, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich will provide a survey of tendencies which show a lasting impact also in contemporary art.
