Screenprint in colors on Somerset Satin White. From group portfolio The Edge of Awareness. Printed by Watanabe Studio, New York and published by ART for the World, Geneva, Switzerland, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the World Health Organization Signed and numbered to lower edge of each work. Dated to lower edge of three works ‘98’. Untitled (From The Edge of Awareness) (1998) by Ilya Kabakov is a color screenprint on Somerset Satin White, created for the Edge of Awareness portfolio in celebration of the World Health Organization's 50th anniversary. The print depicts a group of figures observing a large rectangular cutout in a landscape, revealing a cleaner, more idyllic scene beyond. Above the cutout, handwritten dialogue in French humorously echoes a concern with cleanliness and visibility: “Anna Pavlovna Chère: Tu sais, je ne pourrais quand même pas te montrer Paris?” / “Ivan Petrovitch Tolstoï: Oui, mais je vais faire juste le nettoyage, ça ira bien…” Kabakov uses this theatrical framing device to play on ideas of perception, illusion, and constructed realities—central themes in his conceptual practice. Edition of 90 plus proofs.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
