Screenprint in black and red, on typing paper - Image: 5 1/2 x 7 1/8 in. (14 x 18.1 cm) - Sheet: 11 x 8 1/2 in. (27.9 x 21.6 cm) - Signed with initials, dated and numbered in pencil // Untitled (Text Grid) by Carl Andre, created in 1973, is a minimalist screen-print that explores language and structure through the use of a grid format. The composition features a carefully arranged pattern of letters, alternating between red and black text, forming a fragmented yet visually harmonious design. The text appears abstract, challenging viewers to interpret its meaning or appreciate it purely as a visual and conceptual exercise. Measuring 27.9 x 21.6 cm, this piece exemplifies Andre’s reductionist approach, transforming language into a material element of his art, consistent with his minimalist philosophy.

What is Postmodernism?
Postmodernism is an art movement that emerged as a reaction against authority and traditional boundaries, seeking to blur the lines between art and everyday life. It aimed to bridge the gap between the cultural elite and the general public by embracing eclectic mixtures of earlier conventions and styles. Postmodernist art often challenges established norms and celebrates diversity, irony, and pastiche, making it a movement that reflects the complexities of contemporary culture.
