Photogravure with aquatint in colors on Somerset 410 gsm - Signed and dated in pencil // Two Hands (With Distant Figure) by John Baldessari, created between 1989-1990, is a limited edition mixed media print that combines photogravure with aquatint in colors on Somerset paper. The artwork features a striking composition of two hands, one rendered in a photorealistic style with a pale yellow tint, and the other depicted in a more abstract, outlined manner in pink. Above the hands, a blurred figure is partially visible in the background, adding a sense of mystery and distance. The juxtaposition of different artistic styles and the play between realism and abstraction are characteristic of Baldessari's conceptual approach to art. This piece invites viewers to interpret the relationship between the hands and the figure, and the possible narrative connecting them. Signed and dated in pencil, the print is part of an edition of 45.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
