Description
The first posthumous monograph dedicated to the beloved New York artist and cultural mainstay, known for his intricate grid paintings
Published with KMEC Books.
Born in Puerto Rico, Tony Bechara (1942-2025) was a longtime resident of New York City, where he practiced abstract painting and served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of El Museo del Barrio for 15 years. Drawing inspiration from a range of sources, his singular artistic approach was grounded in an exploration of color theory across tile-like grids (composed of squares no more than a quarter inch high) to expand the possibilities of perception. This monograph spans Bechara's decades-long artistic career, collecting paintings, studies and mosaic works made between 1969 and 2020 that illustrate the development of his unique vision. Also included is an essay by art historian Domitille d'Orgeval, as well as an interview with the artist by curator Hans Ulrich Obrist.More details
