John Baldessari - Ahmedabad 1992

Throughout John Baldessari's prolific and impactful career, he consistently examined and defied the expectations that influence our perception of art. His unique methodology in the realms of painting, photography, source materials, and text redefined and challenged conventional art historical limitations, making him a pioneer of American Conceptualism. Drawing from a wide range of sources-advertising, film culture, Marcel Duchamp, and Ludwig Wittgenstein-he created absurdist, complex yet accessible juxtapositions. The catalogue presents an alluring series of mixed media assemblages Baldessari produced during his residency in India. Ed.: Andreas Schleicher-Lange, Simone Manwarring, Adel Erdei-Melis.
