Candida Höfer - On Kawara

From 2004 to 2007, the noted German art photographer Candida Höfer traveled the world to photograph Japanese-born, NewYork-based Conceptual artist On Kawara's iconic 'Date Paintings' in the homes of private collectors. Because this series of paintings always and only depicts one specific date - in bold, white, capital letters against a darker monochromatic ground - collectors often choose their own for a sentimental reason like a birthday, a special anniversary or an important day in history.
