Affixed paper collection tag to verso: [Private collection of John W. Weber].

This work was produced for the exhibition "Four" at California State College at Los Angeles, showing alongside works by Howard Bond, Charles Emerson and Shirley Pettibone. In his review of the show, Fidel Danieli wrote of Eatherton: [Thomas Eatherton is creating optics which, while geared to maximum contrasts, wring, at each end of these value polarities, a scale of minuscule closeness. Light, small, coin-sized dots are arrayed in symmetrical and circular fashion upon a black ground...Eatherton has provided a bull's-eye center upon which to fix as he proceeds to affirm and deny the plane and generating orbs...].

Tom Eatherton (1934–2023) was an American artist associated with the California Light and Space movement. His practice evolved from traditional painting to the creation of immersive room environments that manipulated light and perception to create direct, experiential encounters.
