Label TextThis is one of three versions of Bochner's Rules of Inference. The first was a site-specific installation with pebbles connected by black chalk lines. The gouache drawing that followed was a sketchy linear diagram. In this version, Bochner eliminated the connecting lines and evidence of hand work. The result is a more detached, cryptic schema that challenges the viewer to discern the simple numerical relationship of the forms.ProvenanceParasol Press, Ltd. New York
