From the Dia Art website:
Lee Ufan is a founding member of Mono-ha (School of Things), a loosely defined group of artists who worked in a shared sculptural idiom in Japan roughly between 1969 and ’74. In work from that time, rather than asserting or denying authorship over an object, Lee distributed forms across what he called a “system” of material and physical relations that inherently incorporate the viewer. Alongside the three sculptures emblematic of his Mono-ha period, this exhibition presents eight paintings dating from the 1970s through the early ’90s, which recently entered Dia’s collection and where the artist foregrounded the canvas as a space populated by both presence and absence.
