8 Galleries For Minimalist Art Lovers

Art with a minimalist aesthetic has been around for over 100 years, with its height in the 1960s during the “Minimal Art” movement. And even today, many artists create works that are reduced to the essential. But finding art galleries that specialize in art with a minimalist aesthetic is not necessarily easy.

But before we start, I have to say something personal. I’ve often found myself feeling disconnected from much of the Contemporary Art that I come across in art galleries and exhibitions. While I appreciate the unique perspectives and expressions that Contemporary Art provides, I find it difficult to connect with many of the works that I see.

Instead, I look for art that can evoke a sense of tranquility, peace, and inner balance in me. Therefore, I want to share a selection of art galleries that evoke that with their selection of artists and artworks — and maybe there’s a gallery or two you didn’t know about.
