John Baldessari

John Baldessari (1931−2020) was a giant of contemporary art, whose codes he turned upside down. Known for his paintings combining art historical references with Hollywood film stills, he blurred visual boundaries and developed a complex narrative language tinged with humour.
The exhibition focuses on his work from the 1980s to the 2000s. It reveals the continued international relevance of his practice, including to generations born in the digital age.
The exhibition at Bozar, dedicated to his work, is a must-see for anyone who wants to grasp the subtleties of the avant-garde from the second half of the 20^th century.
