The Longing for Less

This book delves beneath this lifestyle's glossy surface, uncovering the philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism, and the stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd; composers such as John Cage and Julius Eastman; architects and designers; visionaries and misfits. From Manhattan lofts to the Texas high desert and the back alleys of Kyoto, it reveals that what we most require is presence, not absence.
