This exhibition focuses on the unique series fo paintings Held began in 1967, in which various geometric forms, arranged in multiple perspectives, are rendered within the strict confines of a black-and-white palette.  Perhaps inspired by the India ink drawings of lines, circles, triangles, and squares that he made in 1966,  Held had already begun moving away from the flat, boldly colored shapes of his earlier work.
