Numbered Legs: 20-color screenprint (21 × 43 1/2 in; 53.3 × 110.5 cm) — Published by Gemini GEL LLC, Los Angeles, California. © 2015 John Baldessari and Gemini GEL LLC. // Front Row Suite by John Baldessari is a dynamic limited edition silkscreen series from 2015 that plays on the visual language of fashion, celebrity culture, and anonymity. This four-part work includes strikingly colorful compositions with iconic figures and abstracted forms. In one segment, fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld is depicted riding in a shopping cart, adding humor and irony to the consumerist aspects of fashion. Another segment showcases faceless figures with vibrant blocks of color replacing their heads, reflecting Baldessari's interest in removing identity and focusing on form and color. The inclusion of Numbered Legs highlights the absurdity of objectifying and quantifying beauty, particularly in the fashion world’s “front row” culture. Through his use of layered colors and minimalist shapes, Baldessari critiques the glamorization of image and identity in contemporary culture. Published by Gemini GEL LLC, this suite captures Baldessari’s conceptual artistry and wit.

What is Lettrism?
Artwork by Laure Prouvost

What is Lettrism?

Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
