On Kawara (2018)

Introduction by Emily Wei Rales. Text by Lynne Tillman, E. B. White.

For nearly 50 years Japanese-born artist On Kawara (29,771 days) devoted himself to a quiet practice of marking time, incrementally, via various methods and media. He is best known for a continuous series of monochromatic canvases, collectively titled Today (1966–2013), upon which each work’s date of execution is painted in precise white script. This catalogue marks the long-term exhibition of the Today triptych Moon Landing, 1969, at Glenstone, and includes an original essay by Lynne Tillman, text by E. B. White, installation photography, and reproductions of all additional works by the artist in Glenstone’s collection.
