Abstract (en)

Discusses On Kawara's Today Series, an ongoing, open-ended work begun 4 Jan 1966 which now numbers more than 1,900 canvases. Each of the Japanese conceptual artist's paintings represents a single day--the one designated by the actual date on which the work was made--and is considered by him to be a single component or detail of the series as a whole.
