Correction (Mod. 5) by Liliana Porter is a minimalist etching from 2019, featuring a delicate drawing of a flower with a single red petal. Rendered on super Alfa paper, the simplicity of the flower’s form draws attention to the artist’s playful approach to detail and imperfection. The flower, isolated in the center of the composition, evokes a sense of innocence and understated beauty. The single red petal, collaged onto the etching, introduces a subtle but intentional disruption in the otherwise monochromatic image. Porter's work often reflects themes of memory, fragility, and the juxtaposition of the ordinary with the surreal. This limited edition print is part of a series exploring the beauty in minor corrections or alterations, inviting viewers to consider how small details can transform perception.
Liliana Porter (Argentina, 1941) is a conceptual artist renowned for her multimedia works blending photography, video, and installation.

Based in the United States, Porter’s thought-provoking pieces are exhibited globally.

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.
