An independent form of Minimalism developed in 1960s Germany by addressing abstraction and Zero avantgarde, constructive and concrete tendencies, and was stimulated by the work of Joseph Beuys. The accompanying publication is devoted to selected reductionist works by German artists of the period, with about 100 works by roughly 40 artists, mainly from the Daimler Art Collection holdings. Essays on Minimalist tendencies in architecture, literature, film and design in 1960s Germany develop a broader context over and above this.
