Post-Minimalism: a loose art movement that formed in response to the cold, hard qualities of Minimalism. Post-Minumalism artists, including Eva Hesse, Robert Morris, Richard Serra, and Robert Smithson — who worked in a range of sub-genres, from Process art to Land art — favored more organic materials and forms than those used contemporaneously by their Minimalist peers. As a result, their work was often seen as invested with greater psychological, subjective, or erotic meaning
Process art: Art in which the process of its making is considered an integral aspect of the completed work and is typically left visible in some way. Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings are often considered the source of the post- war artistic interest in process, which informed the work of artists such as Richard Serra, Robert Morris, and Lynda Benglis
