I've been studying a lot of minimalist art the last half-year, and theory about what defines it. My own interpretation is that a minimalist image has lower "information content" than the norm. For example, in this image, you could define 1/3 of the image by just defining the color and size of the upper rectangle. Likewise, most of the cabinet shows little variation, and the handles are subtle. In most minimalist images you also have a compositional element. In this case I cropped the top of the drawers to the 2/3 vertical point, and aligned the center of the handles with the 1/3 horizontal point.
In many cases, minimalism extends into the abstract, as a minimalistic image often "crops out" surrounding context. I'd say this image is semi-abstract. It is clearly a file cabinet (which will soon be a relic!), but since none of the surrounding space is shown, it is more interesting for its composition, color, and pattern than for its meaning as an object.
