Lithograph in colors on T.H. Saunders Waterford. Signed and numbered to lower edge,with publisher's blindstamp. Printed by The Arion Press, San Francisco and published by Mangnolia Editions, Oakland, CA. Literature: Hurowitz 31-35. The life and opinions of Tristam Shandy 4 (Man and Woman in Bed, Obliterated; Hand Holding Fountain (The thing to be concealed)) (1988) by John Baldessari is a color lithograph that exemplifies his conceptual layering of image, erasure, and meaning. Printed on T.H. Saunders Waterford paper, the upper half of the composition features a black-and-white photo of a couple in bed, partially obscured by a pale blue wash confined within a red diamond outline. Below, a second image shows a hand gripping a fountain pen, rendered in crisp monochrome. The contrast between concealment and revelation underscores Baldessari’s interest in censorship, visual communication, and narrative ambiguity. Part of his Tristam Shandy series, this work continues the artist’s exploration of fragmentation and irony. Edition of 50 plus 15 HC.
