The second in a projected four-volume series of the complete
catalogue of works by John Baldessari Compiling four-hundred-plus
unique works of art, this volume traces the shifts and developments
in conceptual artist John Baldessari's work from 1975-86. It covers
his photo-based works such as the "Strobe," "Word Chain," and
"Pathetic Fallacy" series from 1975; the "Violent Space" and the
seminal "Concerning Diachronic/Synchronic Time: Above, On, Under
(With Mermaid)," from 1976; and the "Blasted Allegories" series
from 1977-78, which drew heavily from the artist's vast collection
of photo stills taken from commercial television. In the 1980s,
Baldessari's art took a different direction, beginning with the
expansive "Fugitive Essays" triptychs from 1980 and leading to
1982's photographic interpretations of Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Building on these themes, Baldessari began producing a body of work
that was inspired in part by dreams, psychology, film, and popular
culture. Ensuing works were more formal, elaborate, and
large-scale. From 1984 to 1986 Baldessari created a number of works
that employed his soon-to-be-signature colored discs painted over
people's faces in the photos. An introductory essay will provide a
close reading of selected works and a historical context for
understanding Baldessari's art from this period. A detailed
chronology and exhibition history and bibliography are also
included. This is the second of a projected four-volume catalogue
raisonne. Published in association with Marian Goodman Gallery
