Performance (Robert Morris Revisited)

What is it with the spectacular? To find out, one has to go back to a historic period in modern art, that was seemingly defined by an unparalleled will to be anything but spectacular: the minimalism of the 1960s.

Is it the thought, the speculation, or is it the sight, the spectacle?
