John Baldessari, Rollercoaster, 1989

Rollercoaster, 1989-90, is an aquatint and photogravure printed in colors on shaped Somerset paper from an edition of 45. This work features Baldessari's characteristic approach to image-making, combining photographic elements with printmaking techniques to create a visually complex composition. The shaped paper adds a sculptural dimension to the piece, breaking from the traditional rectangular format of prints.

The work exemplifies Baldessari's conceptual approach to art, which often incorporates found imagery and playful juxtapositions that invite viewers to question the relationship between images and meaning. The print was produced in a limited edition of 45 with 11 artist's proofs, with each print personally signed and numbered by the artist.
