Continuing to explore the Pompidou, we marveled at an amazing variety of art forms, the works of many European artists we did not know about as well as unfamiliar works by artists we knew.
The many textures of Allan Kaprow’s Rearrangeable Panels, 1957-1959, immediately drew me to them. The panels could be re-arranged in many different combinations and was one of the first works to make the exhibitor responsible for choosing the arrangement. The piece was part of the first happening in New York.
Sections of this work, viewed as details, could almost be separate abstract works of their own.
