Godfather of post-modern art, pioneer of the Pictures Generation – John Baldessari’s art reflects the confusions of modern society.
.
‘By appropriating and distorting popular images, the Pictures Generation artists wanted to expose their fabricated nature to a public saturated by mass media,’ explains Alexandra Werner, our Post-War and Contemporary Art Specialist and Head of Sale in London (@sachawerner).
.
Works by Baldessari and the artists he influenced, including Barbara Kruger, David Salle and Robert Longo, are now on view at our London gallery as part of our Frieze Week auctions. Entry is free and open to all.

John Baldessari's 'Brain/Cloud (Two Views): with Palm Tree and Seascape' (2009) presents a wall-mounted polyurethane brain alongside two seascape prints and a time-delayed video which projects the viewer looking at the sculpture fifteen seconds earlier. ⠀
⠀
The work directly compares the shape of the human brain to a cloud and continues a theme within Baldessari's practice of isolating body parts.⠀
⠀
The monumental sculptural installation is on view at @mariangoodmangallery. ⠀

“I guess I get bored easily, and thank God. I don't want to all my life pound only the same key, although some artists do it very effectively. I'm not trying to denigrate anybody.” - John Baldessari #johnbaldessari#conceptualart#photography#artwork#graphicdesign#printmaker#writer#art#kunst#künstler#modernart#fineart#contemporaryart#painter#collageart#gagosian#moma#artwork#videoart
