Rosalind Krauss - 1990
Considers the way Minimalism is being used as the aesthetic rationale for transforming the so-called preindustrial museum into the 'industrialized museum' which responds to the mass market and takes industry as its model of capitalization.
Points to the Guggenheim and its developing satellites under the directorship of Thomas Krens as the model for this new industrialized museum.
