Mel Bochner

Isomorph-Plan for a Photopiece
1966–1967

Two drawings on graph paper depicting a three-dimensional cube-like structure, divided into a grid. The top image shows the structure intact, with alternating red and blue faces giving an illusion of depth. The bottom image presents the same structure disassembled into individual blocks, scattered across the grid with the same red and blue coloring. Text at the bottom of each drawing indicates the work's title "Isomorph (1966-67) Plan for a Photo Piece (Sheet 1 of 2)" and the artist's name "Mel Bochner."
