Pyramid 1967

Peter Alexander's 1967 "Pyramid" exemplifies Minimalist art, which emphasizes geometric forms and pure color. The sculpture's smooth, white surface and simple shape create a sense of calm and order. The subtle variations in color and texture invite the viewer to contemplate the relationship between form, light, and space. The work's stark simplicity and formal purity are characteristic of Minimalist art, which emerged in the 1960s as a reaction against the expressive and subjective tendencies of Abstract Expressionism.
