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 Hard Edge Art?

Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
