Luxury Date - Paintings

On January 4, 1966, Japanese-born, New York-based artist On Kawara created his first date painting, beginning his ongoing, theoretically open-ended "Today" series, which includes more than 2,000 individual paintings. The Japanese artist painted his date paintings only on days that had a special meaning for him. Theoretically unlimited in time. He died on 10.07.2014. - Cosmo du Mont, who had already begun his own series of day pictures at this time, asked himself: And now? On Kawara could henceforth create no more day pictures. So Cosmo du Mont took over On Kawara's artistic legacy and now continues On Kawara's life's work of date pictures with his own means. Sophisticated art should always have a spiritual background. In this sense, the King of Art artistically examines the lifespan of art in the context of time and space. On Kawara's works are in the collections of many international museums, including the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In February 2015, a major retrospective opened at the Guggenheim New York. We do not know where On Kawara is now, here are examples of Cosmo du Mont's work, starting with the date image he created of the anniversary of On Kawara's death. Our sympathies go out to his family.
