Untitled. From: Gog. 1996. Colour silkscreen print on lightweight Velin board. 50 x 50 cm. Signed on the reverse, dated, marked ‘E.A.’ and numbered in Roman numerals. – The corners are only very slightly and barely noticeably bumped. Overall in good condition. A magnificent, crisp and exceptionally colourful print in full format.
One of 5 ‘épreuve d’artiste’ copies. – MoMA, 519.1997.3 – From the ‘Gog’ portfolio comprising 13 works. – Published by Éditions Sollertis, Toulouse. – Printed at Atelier à Paris, Paris. - The motifs in John Armleder’s 1996 ‘Gog’ portfolio – concentric circles as serial graphic structures – emerged from a playful, chance-driven process, which the artist based on ideas from John Cage, Dada and Fluxus. The title ‘Gog’, an allusion to the biblical figure as a symbol of chaos and uncontrollable forces, reflects this open creative approach and emphasises the tension between controlled chance and conceptual openness.
