Bruce Nauman

Cockeye Lips; and Neck Pull, from Infrared Outtakes

Bruce Nauman's *Cockeye Lips; and Neck Pull, from Infrared Outtakes* captures the artist's signature exploration of the human body as a site of tension, distortion, and performance. Produced in a limited edition of 60 and published by the prestigious Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, the works reflect Nauman's ongoing investigation into physical manipulation and self-examination. The infrared imagery lends an eerie, clinical quality to the contorted facial and bodily gestures, reinforcing Nauman's interest in discomfort, vulnerability, and the boundaries of human experience.

Medium
Both signed, dated and numbered 43/60 in pencil (there were also 10 artist's proofs), published by Gemini, G.E.L., Los Angeles (with their inkstamp), both framed.
