What at first sight seems to be an ironic and humourous reply to the frequently touted purity in minimalist art represents the very substance of Erik Steinbrecher's work: "Minimalist Kitsch" signifies a productive contradiction between reduction and immoderation. * * The monograph gathers recent works, works on view in the two corresponding solo exhibitions at Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich and at Villa Merkel, Esslingen, as well as a few works from public and semi-public spaces. * * Published with the Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich and Villa Merkel, Esslingen.
