John Baldessari "Foot and Stocking"
Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl
This event has ended.
John Baldessari is internationally acclaimed and acknowledged as an innovator of Conceptual Art. These dramatic, large-scale (50 x 33 inches) prints are a continuation of Baldessari’s exploration of isolated body parts, unconventional in the realm of fine art. Through careful manipulation of scale and perspective, Baldessari has created a delightful and intriguing presentation of an otherwise banal subject, and has titled each to correspond with his studio staff-member’s name, as if they were portraits. Much like his successful previous Noses & Ears series, Baldessari surprises with a juxtaposition of photography and bold sampling of color-blocking. With Foot and Stocking (With Big Toe Exposed), the viewer is equally seduced by the exposed toenail as by the larger ominous form that has been concealed.
The six bold and colorful prints recently published by the Los Angeles-based artists’ workshop, Gemini G.E.L. will be on view at Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl from October 7th to November 6th. In addition, selections from this series will be presented November 3-7 at the IFPDA Print Fair. Furthermore, the New York debut of Baldessari's Foot and Stocking series is will coincide with the opening of Pure Beauty at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the first major U.S. exhibition in twenty years to survey over five decades of Baldessari's work.
