Untitled
Drawing: Graphite on wove paper
14 x 17 in.
Date:
1978
A pivotal figure in the development of video as a form of artistic expression, Nam June Paik sought to redefine the relationship between the viewer and the television set, often incorporating multiple televisions into a piece and combining video, performance, and sculpture. In these two untitled drawings from the late 1970s, Paik uses the borders of the page to mimic the sides of a television set, faintly rendering the rounded rectangular edges of a screen, and even including, in one drawing, a crescent-shaped reflection.
