John Chamberlain's Involvement with Abstract Expressionism

In the I Got Up series, Kawara sent two postcards every day to friends, family, collectors, colleagues. The postcards that Kawara chose were always horizontal in format, and always of the touristic variety. He played games with the cards, sometimes sending a single recipient multiple[s] of the same image, or taking recipients on tours around the cities.

On Kawara: I Got Up, 1968-79

The series is unique in Kawara’s work in that it required him to relinquish control of its visual appearance. It is the only kind of work he produced that is untouched by the artist’s hand.

On Kawara: I Am Still Alive "Suicide Telegrams"

Everyday Meditation consists of 97 paintings produced over the course of three months in 1970. He made one canvas a day and, occasionally, even two or three. This is the longest continuous sequence of paintings he ever produced. It represents an intensity that seems to us almost euphoric. 

On Kawara, MAR. 2, 1970 (“Italy began today to evacuate 6,000 dwellers from Pozzuoli on the north shore of the Bay of Naples.”). New York. From Today, 1966–2013. Acrylic on canvas, 10 × 13 inches (25.4 × 33 cm), pictured with artist-made cardboard storage box, approx. 10 13/16 × 13 5/8 × 2 inches (27.4 × 34.6 × 5 cm). Private collection © On Kawara.

On Kawara's Everyday Meditation: "An intensity that seems ... almost euphoric"

This was really just the rambling before we recorded another show. It just sounded so much like a show I thought I'd put it out anyway.

Visit the Eiffel Tower, the White House, and even the city of Venice – all by traveling to China. Technology writer Clive Thompson argues that these copies echo deeply-rooted Chinese beliefs, but are also a way to innovate.
