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 Kitsch?
Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
