Label copy

A pivotal figure in the development of video as a form of artistic expression, Nam June Paik sought to redefine the relationship between the viewer and the television set, often incorporating multiple televisions into a piece and combining video, performance, and sculpture. In this untitled drawing from the late 1970s, Paik uses the borders of the page to mimic the sides of a television set, faintly rendering the rounded rectangular edges of a screen.
