About the Artwork
This piece is an example of conceptual and minimalist art. While artists like Piet Mondrian are known for abstract grids using primary colors, On Kawara's calendar work focuses on the conceptual theme of time itself.
The print visually represents a century, from 1900 to 2099, arranged in a large grid format.
Each edition of the print was part of a larger collection of works known as S.M.S. (Shit Must Stop), an art publication distributed inexpensively to subscribers. |
