Minimal

From 8 October 2025, the Bourse de Commerce is hosting a major exhibition dedicated to Minimalist art presenting for the first time more than a hundred major works that trace the diversity of this movement since the 1960s, when a whole generation of artists initiated a radical approach to art. Alongside these masterpieces from the Pinault Collection, loans from prestigious collections highlight the historical importance and international resonance of the themes that run through the exhibition.

The "Minimal" exhibition explores the global and international evolution of this movement, which since the early 1960s has radically reconsidered the status of artwork.

Characterized by an economy of means, pared-down aesthetics, and a reconsideration of the artwork’s placement in relation to the viewer, artists across Asia, Europe, North and South America challenged traditional methods of display. This approach invited a more direct, bodily interaction with the art, integrating the viewer and the environment into the artwork itself. While these transformations unfolded in distinct ways across different regions, they shared a common drive to expand the relationship between artwork and audience.
