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 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 Op Art?
Op Art is a visual art style that uses optical illusions to create the impression of movement, vibrating patterns, flashing, or hidden images. The works are typically abstract, with many well-known pieces in black and white. The roots of Op Art can be traced back to earlier movements like Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Neo-Impressionism, particularly in their use of color effects and graphic design.
