This powerful show centers the female artists too often left out of the movement’s narrative, positioning american minimal as one of the most important exhibitions of the season.
Curated in collaboration with acclaimed San Diego art advisor Jennifer Findley—the first person ever to co-curate an exhibit with SDMA—american minimal showcases works by bold, innovative women whose contributions have helped transform the movement.
Names like Helen Lundeberg, Florence Arnold, Helen Pashgian, Mary Corse, and Gisela Colón take center stage, offering us a fresh and overdue perspective on Minimalism.
Launched during Women’s History Month, the exhibition is a celebration of both past and present. These artists experimented with space, surface, and light in ways that feel more relevant than ever, particularly in today’s overstimulated world.
Among the highlights is a selection of never-before-seen works from Gisela Colón’s private collection, including pieces that push the boundaries of industrial materials and minimalist form.
Colón herself will be in San Diego for a special artist panel and walk-through on April 10—a rare opportunity for art lovers to connect directly with one of the movement’s leading voices.
Local curator Jennifer Findley of JFiN Collective brings a thoughtful, community-rooted perspective to the exhibit. She’s available for Q&As about the artists and the curatorial process, and her approach is helping shape how we engage with Minimalist art in a modern context.
Whether you’re a longtime admirer or newly discovering the genre, american minimal invites you to see art—and its creators—differently.
