tion work takes its inspiration from Towards a New Abstraction, the catalogue of an exhibition organised by Ben Heller in 1963 at the Jewish Museum in New York, which brought together artists such as Frank Stella, Paul Brach, Kenneth Noland and Raymond Parker. The theme unites the artists of this  New Abstraction through their spirit, as opposed to the  spirit of the times reflected in other movements such as Minimalism and Pop Art.  New Abstraction is not to be taken as a movement (some evidence clearly shows the importance of Abstract Expressionism for some) but as a meeting of attempts in structure that created attraction rather than grouping. There is no single Zeitgeist; apart from its somewhat complex origins,  New Abstraction was intersected at the time with other impulses and currents, in particular with Neo-Dadaism, the outset of Minimalism and process art.
