About the Work

Two Sets (One with Bench) (C.-H. 49), 1989-90, is an aquatint printed in colors with photogravure on Somerset paper from an edition of 45. 

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 features the blindstamp of the printer, Branstead Studio, and was published by Brooke Alexander Editions, New York. It was produced in a limited edition of 45 with 11 artist's proofs, with each print personally signed in pencil and numbered by the artist.
