Black and white formica cube multiple on a Plexiglas stand - Publisher: Artisst to benefit CORE - Incised signature, date and number - Inscribed To M.L.K. Jr // Untitled OP Art Cube by Richard Anuszkiewicz, created in 1968, is a sculpture exemplifying the artist's exploration of Op Art through geometric abstraction. The artwork is a black and white Formica cube measuring 10 x 10 x 10 inches, displayed on a Plexiglas stand. The cube features a dynamic, grid-like pattern that bends and distorts across its surfaces, creating an optical illusion of movement and depth. The precise alignment and manipulation of lines evoke a sense of visual tension, characteristic of Anuszkiewicz's work. This piece is not only an engaging visual object but also a tribute, as it is inscribed “To M.L.K. Jr,” reflecting a dedication to Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy. The work was published as a multiple to benefit CORE (Congress of Racial Equality), highlighting its social and historical significance.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
