John Baldessari's Girl with Teddy Bear, 1988, mixed media print with grayscale image of a girl and blue teddy bear, orange circle obscuring face.

From the sef of "Object (with Flaw)" - Mounted on Plexiglas (irregular shape) - Literature: Hurowitz 40 Made in LA: Prints of Cirrus Editions , Davis, pg. 89 // John Baldessari's Girl with Teddy Bear (1988) is a compelling limited edition mixed media print, measuring 107 x 94 cm, and part of the Object (with Flaw) series. Mounted on Plexiglas in an irregular shape, the artwork juxtaposes a grayscale image of a young girl hugging a teddy bear with a striking, bright blue highlight applied to the bear. The girl’s face is obscured by a solid orange circle, a signature motif of Baldessari, symbolizing anonymity and abstraction. The combination of black and white photography with bold color interventions creates a thought-provoking visual tension, characteristic of Baldessari's conceptual style. The deliberate obscuring of identity invites viewers to question the narratives behind the imagery, encouraging an exploration of innocence, objectification, and the emotional nuances of childhood. The piece exemplifies Baldessari’s innovative approach, blending image manipulation and conceptual art to challenge and engage viewers on multiple levels.

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
