Plz help ID this painting (colorful and abstract!)

xp omg LOVES IT!!

there's an awesome exhibit at the Hirshhorn right now, Suprasensorial, that showcases Carlos Cruz-Diez, along with Lucio Fontana, Julio Le Parc, Jesus Rafael Soto and Helio Oiticica. I was at the opening day of it and got to watch a panel with Le Parc and Cruz-Diez which was AMAZING.

Fuuuuck!

lol this painting, i did my part and i emailed a friend abt it once, she did not know

It's still at the Hirshhorn til May 13th! Come and see it! I really liked Soto's stuff (I posted the video below in waht is awesome - it's not from the Hirshhorn but will give you a feel), but Cruz-DIez's Chromosaturation was jut phenomenal. Three rooms interconnected by hallways, each bathed in intense red, green, or blue light, and in addition to the wonderful blending of the colors at their soft edges, and the contrast with the lights on the ceiling, there was also this mindfuck that would happen when you stayed in one room for a few minutes and then quickly walked into another room. Just totally unreal, and very inspiring. Come see it!!

wish i was better at describing art (and music and writing and film and poetry and theater and everything else that is good on earth) because i feel like i often do a disservice to the artists, but for the love of god check it out

Suprasensorial DC meetup!

I would love to go back and spend more time with it. We arrived late, just 30 minutes before the panel, so we kinda rushed through everything. There was also a cool room with this in it by Dan Flavin:

my new favorite person in the entire world took that picture but it's hard to see the overwhelming nature of what's going on with that piece from that image. first of all, it's huge - a room probably 40 feet long, 20 feet wide. the light, again, is overwhelming, so that whoever or whatever enters the room becomes immersed in blue. but what's totally fucked up is that after spending some time in there, everything else becomes desaturated. you look at your friend, and your friend is in black and white. it's disturbing and addicting.

aw man that is a rad-looking show

on that same tip, i sadly missed this show when it was up

4 yrs later and still no clue

Feel like this is the last great unsolved identification mystery of ilx, since we found forks' rap song and Tuomas' typewriter movie.

There is a new app describing itself as the shazam for art, called magnus. Very much doubt it would nail this, unfortunately I'm stuck on ios 7 and can't put it to the test.

I think of this thread/pic from time to time and disappear down a several-hour Google Images rabbithole every time. Hopefully one day the mystery will be solved.

(no Magnus for Android yet so I can't try it out either, but their FAQ says there will be one eventually)

I gave Magnus a try. App initially thought it was Rothko and then gave up.

Before I got to that point though, I had to re-read this entire thread and then spend a hour searching the net. This is one of ILX's best black holes.

You know how with photobucket you can get your pictures printed on a canvas? You should do that with this one.

i want a shazam for fragrances!

stumbled across some Bridget Riley and it really does look like her (even though it's not)

looks more neo geo than op art to me

ok I just contacted Art Basel via their "contact us" web form, wish us luck y'all!

Australian artist Melinda Harper is pretty similar -

but the unknown painting looks more 60s to me.

emailed a friend who is very obsessed with obscure op art/hard edged abstraction. she curated this show: http://www.dwigmore.com/opoutofohio.html

i think she could know...

It looks like Karl Benjamin to me

I haven't found it but I recently stumbled across Yaacov Agam, and I wouldn't be amazed if the photo above was by the same person as these:

I love this thread. Feel like you guys are getting warmer and warmer on this latest revive.

I think Tim might have just solved it (though a first quick gis doesn't reveal the original artwork)

He's def using the same shapes, too:
