I’m Sorry. I didn’t get that.
On Kawara developed a uniquely nuanced artistic language over more than six decades. His systematic documentation of existence, begun long before our era of digital sharing, uses the tools of his time – postcards, telegrams, calendars and CDs – to mark his presence.
On Kawara: Rules of Freedom, Freedom of Rules presents the artist's most iconic series, spanning five decades of work and marking the first institutional solo presentation of his work in the world conceived since his passing 10 years ago. Through distinct systematic approaches epitomised by his renowned Date Paintings, these works fundamentally reshape our understanding of time and existence.
