We do not know whether the author was inspired by Kazimir Malevich’s “Black Square”, but it is certain that he managed to create a lot of controversy around the canvas (you can see it here). By the way, its name is not minimalist at all – “General 52” x 52“. The picture is a blank covered with white enamel. There is literally nothing depicted on it.

They plan to sell it at auction for 1-1.5 million euros (110.5 – 165.8 million rubles) Note ed.). Robert created it in 1970; participated in a number of works written in the same style.

The auction house believes that this particular painting conveys the leitmotif of Ryman’s work: white, serial, square, analytical, with a perfectly calculated conceptuality.
