The Minimalism and After exhibition series was based on the idea that a transatlantic history of abstract-geometrical, reduced image-/object-forms needed to be rediscovered. This history starts with the ‘emigration’ of the Bauhaus and Constructivism in the 1930s, and the way they were received in the USA. It continues in the 1950s through the dialogue between American forms anticipating Minimalism and the ZERO and New Tendencies developments in Europe. 

Minimalism and After III concentrates on a dialogue between American and German artists. A total of 27 artistic positions were presented in the exhibition, with about 60 works from five decades.
