those sound like Rauchenberg ... I remember seeing some huge paintings at the San Francisco MOMA back in that day, all black canvas with just a bit of texture, or a spot of color variation... also white canvases, the same. It really made me scream at the time, made me angry "why are these in a major museum ?" Just this past year, I saw them again in the new SFMOMA ... not the same reaction. In retrospect they are now looking iconic and representational of those times.

Hey there "Famous Artist", a wave from another, got one of those great patches too!
Don't think the paintings were by Ryman, these were just huge blank white, another set had one small color element like a black dot, who knows...
Perhaps they were Raushenberg......
Back then my mother was a good friend of a gallery owner and she often changed the art we had in the living room, one set stuck in my mind for ever. Have no idea who did it either but they were panels of color next to each other and then a space on the wall, then more color panels arranged differently, then again space. Very pop art. I tend to do that spacing in my art.....

soul that refuses to admit defeat even in the midst of a collapsing
world."
