From the moment of painting the figure 1 until the day he died, when he had reached well past 5500000 (no commas marred his work), his daily task was painting numbers and whispering their names, eventually into a tape recorder.For 46 years Roman Opalka painted canvases covered in numbers, a project only curtailed by his death this month. Our obituary remembers him. (via theeconomist)
