Buchholz's Constant-Variables

As a contemporary of El Lissitzky and László Moholy-Nagy, Erich Buchholz was a forerunner of German constructivism and suprematism.  His sequence of screen-prints, Constant-Variables, from 1964 explores the permeability of art in time and space.  Each piece of the sequence uses only red, white and black with fixed lines and a permutation of shifting rectangular shapes.

German minimalism in the 60s

Daimler Contemporary's group exhibition, Minimalism in Germany. The Sixties II, I went to see today could easily be one of the best I am seeing this summer.  Except for two or three familiar names, there's a whole roster of German minimalist artists that I should now start paying attention to.  This show surely enhances my personal artistic discovery.
