Case Studies in Minimal Art. The Guggenheim's 'Object Lessons' is a New Release this week!

Featured image—the Certificate of authenticity for Dan Flavin’s “untitled (to Henri Matisse),” edition 2/3, ca. 1970—is reproduced from the Guggenheim Museum’s stunning, almost astonishing new release, Object Lessons: Case Studies in Minimal Art—The Guggenheim Panza Collection Initiative. A deep study of the Museum’s unparalleled collection of Minimal art from the visionary Italian collectors Giovanna and Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, this volume is not only gorgeous (it practically glows), but a must-have for any serious twentieth-century art library, taking the laser-focused approach of investigating Minimalism and Conceptualism (as well as the art of collecting itself) by studying four works, in-depth, in particular, by Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Lawrence Weiner and Flavin, whose work is also featured on the book’s cover.
