In a long-term piece called the "Today Series", On Kawara paints the day's date in black and white, each identical to one another. Each painting takes about 8 hours to create, and each that can't be finished on the same day are destroyed.
In another ongoing series started in the late 60s, Kawara sent postcards and telegrams to his friends which stated simply:
I AM STILL ALIVE.
He has also done another series called "I Went", a collection of maps in chronological order that mark he daily movements.
