I liked the quote from the lecture Abstract Art Now, "the less there is to look at, the more you have to look, the more you have to be in the picture." YES!

Why is abstract art relevant?

Is it true that the viewer brings the meaning to the work?

Can there really be a critique of abstract art in content?

Is it really possible to capture the void so to speak like in Serra's work?

Is Abstract sculpture onthe same page as abstract painting?
