A compelling and beautifully produced exploration of minimalist and abstract painting, this volume places Dan Van Severen in a rich visual and conceptual “dialogue” with some of the most important figures of 20th-century art: Ellsworth Kelly, Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, Barnett Newman, and Ad Reinhardt.
Rather than a conventional monograph, this book invites the reader to experience a series of thoughtful juxtapositions—where line, form, colour, and silence become the language of exchange. Van Severen’s refined, meditative works are presented alongside those of his international peers, revealing striking affinities in their pursuit of reduction, balance, and spiritual intensity.
Edited by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Griet Dupont, and published by Walther König, this is both a visually arresting art book and a serious curatorial statement—ideal for collectors, artists, and anyone interested in minimalism and post-war abstraction.
