Etching with aquatint on Rives B.F.K paper - Signed, numbered and dated in pencil // Seeds by John Baldessari, created in 1986, is an etching with aquatint on Rives B.F.K paper. This work, known for Baldessari’s conceptual approach, combines photographic imagery with abstract shapes, offering a layered and thought-provoking visual narrative. The lower half of the print depicts a black-and-white photograph of hands holding and examining an object resembling a sliced fruit, with seeds connected by black lines, forming a network or pattern. Above this image, a black, irregular geometric shape floats in the white space, creating a stark contrast with the detailed scene below. The composition, signed, numbered, and dated by Baldessari, plays with ideas of connection, fragmentation, and perception, characteristic of his work’s exploration of meaning and abstraction.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
