PROVENANCE

---

fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
From 1969 to 1978 Held investigated in large, stark paintings like Jupiter IV spatial conundrums by suggesting volume and depth. Over a flat, white surface he superimposed bold, black lines of varying thickness to render interlocking cubes, flowing circular forms, and other threedimensional shapes, providing a complex symphony of continuous geometrical forms floating in infinite space.
