On Kawara, Nothing, Something, Everything, 1963
(On Kawara only made a date painting on September 15 twice: in 1985 and 1997.)
On Kawara made a Today painting on his birthday 13 times. Here are two of them. He was born December 24, 1932. 90 years ago today.
from On Kawara’s Pure Consciousness series: installation of date paintings in Goa, India, 2013
from On Kawara’s catalog of his paintings’ subtitles:
NOV. 1, 1971: “More than 12,000 travelers were stranded at Heathrow Airport in London today when ground crews staged a sudden walkout that virtually crippled the airport.”
On Kawara made August 5 date paintings in 1981, 1982, 1989, and 1999, but I can’t find an image of one anywhere.
