This work was produced as part of Takamatsu’s “Perspective” series which he produced 1967-1968. The series comprised both two-dimensional works on paper, and three-dimensional sculptures, all of which take perspective as their primary concern. Constructed of wood coated in lacquer, the addition of thin lines give the impression that the cube is hollow when viewed from a certain angle. By applying an alternative perspective to the minimalist cube, the artist was continuing his exploration of illusion and absence.
