Etching with collage // Untitled 3 (La tarea) by Liliana Porter, created in 2023, is a limited edition etching with collage that exemplifies Porter's exploration of human effort and the absurdity of tasks. The artwork, measuring 50.5 x 38.5 cm, features a small figure positioned below a scattered pile of black fragments, seemingly tasked with organizing or confronting the chaos above. The minimalist composition, with its vast negative space, draws attention to the isolated figure and the monumental challenge presented by the fragments. This setup conveys a sense of existential struggle, persistence, and the repetitive nature of human endeavors. The delicate use of collage enhances the texture, making the figure and fragments feel tangible and immediate. Limited to 20 copies with 3 artist’s proofs (HC), this piece invites viewers to reflect on the futility and persistence inherent in daily life.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
