Observe the detail. Irrefutable invitation. It is precisely from the fractures opened by the details that this paper aims to investigate. Specifically, the one that the Minimal Art movement, with its well-defined theoretical and plastic assumptions, allows us to glimpse discursive inconsistencies. Considering the theoretical dispute engendered from the quarrel between Donald Judd e Robert Morris in the 1960’s, this paper seeks to question the limits of Minimal argument of specificity opposing it to the notion of disquieting object after observing a footnote within the process of historicization of this artistic movement. Thus, starting from this detail, that passes by the most attentive eyes, that this paper questions discourses of certainty that cross historiography about Minimal Art, aiming to contribute to the broader debate around this movement.
