Untitled Six Boxes — Fine Art

Untitled Six Boxes - 1974 shows six equal rectangular forms arranged in a row on a plain ground. The forms stay the same tone across the picture. At a distance the row reads as one long unit. Up close the edges stay hard and the surface stays even.

The fine art frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. A white frame finish keeps the outer line clean against the plain ground. The finish does not change the tone inside the forms. You notice the frame edge before the colours inside.

In a bedroom the row sits on the wall above the bed. From the side of the room the six forms look like one long bar. From the foot of the bed the even tone stays the same. The white frame edge stays steady against the paint.
