Tadao Andō

Anatxu Zabalbeascoa

Javier Rodríguez Marcos

Ando speaks of the spirituality of the materials he uses and explains that although spirituality is a nonvisible form of space, it is manifested in much if not all of his work. From secluded housing to modern temples, from museums to places of worship, his creations are built to enhance mediation, in life or in art. This guiding spirit in his architecture is presented in detail in this volume.

Arquitectura Y Espíritu

Tadao Ando

Frágil

Marta González

Rather than limit the minimal to being a type of visual art, the curators of Minimalisms: A Sign of the Times conceive of the minimal as a way of life, as a spirit that impregnates nearly the whole of modern culture and its surroundings. After an exhaustive overview of classic Minimalist works by Dan Flavin, Frank Stella, Agnes Martin, Carl Andre, and Elsworth Kelly, Minimalisms looks further, at artworks by Andreas Gursky, Candida Hoffer, Richard Serra, Jean-Marc Bustamante, and Gunther Forg, architecture by Peter Zumthor, Dominique Perrault, Claus En Kaan, and Rafael Moneo, furniture designs by Donald Judd and Shiro Kuramate, and fashion designs by Anni Albers, Donna Karan, and Issey Miyaki. Linking them all is a simplicity of form and ornament, a technical precision, and the essential and concrete nature of structure.
