Summary:
A handful of years after he arrived in New York from Tokyo as a young Neo-Dada sculptor, Arakawa began producing two-dimensional works that brought together text and schematic images. These "diagram paintings," begun in the mid-1960s, offered elusive combinations of signs and shapes with words and phrases.
