Edition of 50 on Arches 88 paper - signed, numbered and dated in pencil // Yogurt by John Baldessari is a limited edition screen-print that playfully juxtaposes image and text. This work presents a meticulously detailed, photorealistic depiction of a halved avocado, complete with a rich green outer layer and a smooth brown pit, against a stark white background. Beneath the image, the word “Yogurt” is printed in clean, sans-serif typography, adding a layer of humor and absurdity. Known for his conceptual approach, Baldessari often explores the relationship between word and image, creating unexpected connections that challenge viewers' perceptions and assumptions. This piece, created in 2017, exemplifies his style by merging everyday objects with surprising text, encouraging a humorous yet critical engagement with language and visual representation.

What is Lettrism?

Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
