Sugar-lift, spit bite, aquatint in colors and photogravure on Somerset Satin - Signed and dated in pencil // Falling Star by John Baldessari, created in 1989-90, is a limited edition mixed media print that incorporates sugar-lift, spit bite, aquatint in colors, and photogravure on Somerset Satin paper. This vertical composition is divided into three distinct panels. The top panel features a stark black background with a yellow shooting star, creating a sense of anticipation. The middle and bottom panels consist of black-and-white photographic images of debris or industrial materials, with a strikingly colorful element in each— a blue circle in the middle panel and a red circle in the bottom panel. Baldessari’s use of bold, isolated color contrasts against the monochromatic images adds a surreal, almost enigmatic quality to the piece. Signed and dated in pencil, this work exemplifies Baldessari’s exploration of visual language and the juxtaposition of text, image, and color. This print is part of an edition of 45.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
