Instead the artist offered a deeper and simpler meditation on the individual’s place within our era. Most famously he painted his Today series - simple acrylic on canvas renderings of that day’s date – from the 4 January 1966 up until the final years of his life.
The Today series also complicated an obituary, as we draw up our own dates – Jan. 2, 1933 – Jul. 10, 2014 – following his death last week. Yet, as the writer and curator René Denizot explains in our monograph, the date paintings could help the artist transcend his earthly limits. Denizot writes:
