Phase - Drawing 1 (Topology 14) 1968

"Phase - Drawing 1 (Topology 14)" is a minimalist drawing from 1968 by Japanese artist Nobuo Sekine. The artwork features a white line that curves and twists in space, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The line appears to be a continuous loop, suggesting an infinite cycle. The white line is drawn against a bright red background, further emphasizing the graphic nature of the work. Sekine was a key figure in the Mono-ha movement, which explored the relationship between objects and space. This piece is an example of his focus on the materiality of art.
