Neo-minimalism is an amorphous art movement of the late 20th
and early 21st centuries. It has alternatively been called
"neo-geometric" or "neo-geo" art. Other terms include:
Neo-Conceptualism, Neo-Futurism, Neo-Op, Neo-Pop, New Abstraction, Poptometry, Post-Abstractionism, Simulationism, and Smart Art.
The aspects of "postmodern art" that have been described as
neo-minimalism (and related terms) involve a general "reevaluation of
earlier art forms." As its various titles indicate, the movement draws on earlier mid-to-late-20th century developments in Minimalist art, Abstract Expressionism and its offshoots, plus Pop Art, Op Art, and other threads of artistic development.
Contemporary artists who have been linked to the term, or who have
been included in shows employing it, include Jerry Brown, David Burdeny,
Catharine Burgess, Marjan Eggermont, Paul Kuhn, Eve Leader, Tanya
Rusnak, Daniel Ong, Laurel Smith, Christopher Willard, and Tim Zuck. The steel sculptures of Richard Serra have been described as "austere neo-Minimalism...."

Fantastic Post, such an interesting movement. Maybe include Richard Tuttle as an artist worth studying. His Wire sculpture works are especially interesting.
