The Philosophy of Time: Roman Opalka’s 1965 / 1 – ∞
Experience the profound meditation on existence and progression with this exquisite pack of 10 postcards featuring a Detail from Roman Opalka’s 1965 / 1 – ∞. Roman Opalka, a titan of Conceptual Art, dedicated his life to a single, monumental project: documenting the passing of time by painting consecutive numbers from one toward infinity. This series of postcards captures the ascetic beauty of his 'Détails,' where the physical act of painting becomes a bridge between the finite human experience and the infinite nature of the cosmos.
Museum-Quality Reproduction for Discriminating Collectors
At RedKalion, we honor the precision of Opalka’s vision by utilizing 12-color fine art printing technology. Unlike standard 4-color processes, our method ensures that every numerical stroke is rendered with stunning depth and accuracy. These postcards are printed on 200 gsm (80 lb) FSC-certified paper, offering a substantial 0.26 mm thickness that feels as premium as it looks. The smooth matte finish eliminates glare, allowing the subtle nuances of Opalka’s monochromatic palette to take center stage.

There are no minimum order requirements. Each pack of 10 is printed on demand, allowing us to maintain high quality and reduce waste while catering to your specific needs.
What is the significance of the title 1965 / 1 – ∞?
The title represents the year Opalka began the project (1965), starting from the number '1' and aiming for 'infinity'. It was a lifelong commitment to recording the progression of time until his death in 2011.
Why do some Opalka details appear lighter than others?
Starting in 1972, Opalka added 1% more white to the background of each new canvas. Over decades, the works transitioned from black to near-white, symbolizing the artist's own aging and the fading of life into eternity.
