That was fast!

It was back in 1968 when Mel Bochner—born in 1940—began experimenting with rubbing blue carpenter’s chalk into the porous surface of a wall, creating paintings inseparable from the wall itself.

Here, Bochner has imagined anew an artwork he previously brought to life for collector Suzanne F. Cohen, reversing its areas of blue pigment to conjure a ghost image of the work as it was in her space.

📍 This installation of "Random Lines (Transposed)" was on view in On Certainty: Gifts from the Collection of Suzanne F. Cohen from 2021-2022.

Summer may be slipping away ... but there’s still time to check out Fratino and Matisse: To See This Light Again! ✨

Trained at the Maryland Institute College of Art, contemporary painter spent years studying the BMA’s expansive collection. It shines through in his luminous interiors, sensual color, and intimate portrayals of the male figure.

⏰ Closing Sunday, September 6.
