On Kawara 1966
On Kawara (1932-2014) is considered to be one of the most important and most radical modern artists of our time. His oeuvre is consumed with time and place, concepts that he used to try and map out the meaning of human existence. On Kawara: 1966 focuses on Kawara's creations from 1966, a key year within his oeuvre as it was the birth of his world-famous date paintings: small paintings in which he inscribed the exact date on which he created the painting in white letters and numbers on a monochromatic background. If a painting wasn't complete by midnight, it was destroyed. The TODAY series, as the entire collection is called, comprises some 2,000 date paintings created in more than 100 differ...

The '90s
A journey of grace for those who are ill . . . I spend my nights asking hundreds of questions: What will my husband do when I’m dead? How many people will show up for my funeral? What if I can’t get out of bed, shower, and get myself dressed tomorrow? And who’ll then shop for groceries, do the laundry, and put the garden to sleep for the winter? God, you promised you’d be with me. Where are you? Dealing with illness is never easy, but it can be especially difficult when that illness is terminal, such as cancer. Over a period of six years living with cancer, author Carol Winters kept a journal.When Hope Is Triedbrings together thirty-one of these daily meditations, which, taken togeth...

On Kawara
On Kawara, the artist who lives in New York, has produced since the sixties the most extreme reductionist works of contemporary art. The artist, who is continually travelling, who refuses to give interviews, who will not allow photographs to be taken of him, who does not go to the private viewings of his own exhibitions and who quotes in his biography only the amount of days he has used, has developed an almost totally anonymous and yet unmistakable body of art.
On Kawara
" ... Photographer Candida Höfer travelled through Asia, America and Europe between 2004 and 2007 to take pictures of On Kawaras Date Paintings in the spaces of private collectors. On Kawara created his famous Date Paintings from 1960 on. On her trip following the trace of these pictures, Candida Höfer performed photographic "field research". The collectors are never depicted, yet they are objectively portrayed all the same through the situations in which they live." --publisher.

On Kawara
On Kawara is fascinated by counting and by time. For forty-five years he has been making not only lists of the years from a million years ago to 1969, but also his 'date paintings'. He made his first painting in the 'Today Series' in New York on 4 January 1966: a monochrome canvas painted with the day, month and year. Since then he has been painting the date according to the same procedure at regular intervals in the city where he happened to be. This is the first time that On Kawara presents a retrospective of forty-five years of date paintings.
