Barnett Newman, an American Abstract Expressionist artist best known for his colour field paintings, has been a significant figure as well as an abiding subject through David Diao’s career. Having been fascinated with the relative dearth of the artist's output, Diao has made a series of paintings cataloguing Newman's art practice since the 1990s. In this work, Diao puts the floor plan of Newman's exhibition in 1965 Sao Paulo Biennial in the middle, which is surrounded by six works of art on display at that time.
