The exhibition "De la ligne à la matière" (From Line to Matter) at Mitterrand Saint-Honoré, Paris, presents a group of American minimal and post-minimal artists. The show explores how artists from the 1960s onwards transformed sculptural and pictorial practices through formal reduction, raw materiality, repetition, and engagement with the body and space. Works by artists such as Carl Andre, Fred Sandback, Robert Morris, and Donald Judd are featured, examining the direct, sensory, and physical experience of art over representation.

Donald Judd's "specific objects" and Josef Albers' rigorous, serial squares are highlighted as foundational to minimalist concerns. The exhibition also includes post-minimalist approaches from artists like Keith Sonnier, who incorporates neon and industrial materials, and Allan McCollum, known for his large-scale serial compositions. The show posits that minimalism and its extensions are not about reduction but about essential density, using spareness as a strategy to reveal line, matter, and perception.
