  • Always amusing when someone uses all caps and is simply wrong.

    According to his official website: 1931 Born in France to Polish parents. But perhaps his site is mistaken.

  • @2darbit According to an article in the Economist, he started out on black bakground and went to grey in 1968 and. From 1972 onwards, he added 1% white every year until the background. Towards the end, it was almost as white as the numbers.

  • It's like he's counting towards the end of the world.. like Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters. He kind of was. Rest his soul.

  • I love that he worked on white, complimenting his own photos. I read he did add some grey to the back ground ( on the canvas).

    Sad that he's gone...

  • @MarlenaxD Have a look to Wikipedia!

  • @SlonC Hocquincourt, Picardie (!?)

  • I would like to know his last number ...

    R.I.P.
