Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Untitled, c1968

Olive Green Squares on Vermillion (1968), gifted to the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich in 2021, is a major work from the series Things of a Kind in Order and Disorder, made between 1963 and 1973. Other examples include Progression (1965), gifted to Leeds Art Gallery in 2019, and Untitled (c1968), gifted to Lillie Art Gallery in Milngavie in 2017. Barns-Graham’s creative impetus for the series came from arranging rows of card squares on the floor and disturbing them with her foot. After studying the random accidental results, she developed complex constructions, often informed by mathematical calculations.
