Here is a short, fresh and insightful video on Baldessari’s biography. I think it perfectly describes his way of working an shows his transition throughout the photography world. He made a very bold statement which stated: “I will not make any more boring art”. This became his theory for the rest of his life.

Not only do I think that his work with abstract spots amazing, but I believe his earlier pictures are very creative. Examples include:

I really like the both of these. The top one shows a picture which is more based on designs and colour pop. Whilst the image below shows a performance aspect. He actually threw several orange balls into the air to create this image, therefore I’m guessing that this picture was edited to place all the three balls in a row. They sort of look like oranges drifting in mid air.
