    Saturday, January 22, 2011, 11:15 am

    Physical Fact/Fleeting Idea: Minimalism and Conceptual Art

Come find out about artists who don't always make their own work and artists for whom the idea—rather than the object—is supreme. Artists discussed will include Carl Andre, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Agnes Martin, and Robert Morris.
