The show examined the rise of Minimalist art and its focus on the object as a primary artistic concern. It featured works from the period 1958 to 1968, a decade that saw the emergence of Minimalism as a dominant movement. The exhibition included a PDF brochure available for download. The title's question mark suggested a critical inquiry into whether Minimalism truly represented a future direction for art.
