The exhibition will consist of a new series entitled "Blockage" into which John Baldessari continues his investigation into the relationship between painting and photography with large bright color fields which dominate the composition. "'For most of us photography stands for the truth,' Baldessari has said. 'But a good artist can make a harder truth by manipulating forms or pushing paint around. It fascinates me how I can manipulate the truth so easily by the way I juxtapose opposites or crop the image or take it out of context. When two forces contend in a photograph, I may favor one side or the other -the rider or the horse, for example, the upright mummy in its coffin or the woman standing in awe next to it." (in John Baldessari, 1990, Rizzoli, by Coosje van Bruggen). [Marian Goodman Gallery press release].
