Natural History by Arakawa Shusaku is a serigraph print that explores abstract concepts of decision-making and perception through minimalist design and textual elements. The artwork features a line that begins on the left and subtly slopes downward, accompanied by a colorful cluster of vertical lines on the right. Below, phrases such as the length of decision and the nature of taste or bullshit provoke thought on human choices and subjective interpretation. Created in 1969, this limited edition print (192/200) embodies Arakawa’s intellectual approach to art, where language and geometry intersect to question reality and the nature of decision.

What is dada?
Also known as Dadaism, Dada was a literary and artistic movement that began in 1916 in Zurich, Switzerland. It emerged as a rejection of rationalism and nationalism, which were seen as contributing factors to World War I. The movement had political undertones and was strongly anti-war. Dada activities included demonstrations, gatherings, and the publication of literary and art journals that explored cultural and political topics.
