Description
Published on the occasion of the Deutsche Guggenheim exhibition (October 30, 2004–January 16, 2005), Somewhere Between Almost Right and Not Quite (With Orange) is a quintessential John Baldessari book—rigorous, funny, and conceptually slippery. Drawing from photography, film stills, painting, and text, the work plays with color, interruption, and the act of looking itself, a career-long concern for Baldessari.
The book reproduces major works from the exhibition alongside installation views and sequences that emphasize Baldessari’s use of colored forms—especially his signature dots—as both obstruction and emphasis. Orange becomes a recurring device, less a color than a conceptual tool. Designed with restraint and precision, the publication stands as both exhibition catalog and autonomous artist’s book, and remains one of the strongest late-career documents of Baldessari’s practice.
An essential title for collectors of conceptual art, postwar American art, and Baldessari in particular.
