JOHN BALDESSARI (1930-2020)

“I’m less interested in what is than what is not art,” he said. “It’s the secondary thing that interests me… how you move stuff into the area of art that’s not there” (J. Baldessari, quoted in John Baldessari: Work 1966-1980, exh. cat., New York, The New Museum, 1961, p. 43).
