the authors expand on and a look into todays monuments status. They firstly focus on how contrasting message-wise the socialist and democratic monuments are, even though they appear to be similar in form and appearance.

Tammi Campbell’s piece Dear Agnes, 2014, a letter to Agnes Martin, a Canadian born artist, who was reluctant to call her works minimalist.
