Jedediah Caesar — Untitled (pieces of wall)
Jedediah Caesar

Untitled (pieces of wall)

2002

Rendered in acrylic on paper, this compact yet quietly commanding work from 2002 presents a fragmented architectural logic, as though the surface itself is caught mid-dissolution. Caesar layers material and pictorial gesture to suggest structural substance while maintaining the intimacy of works on paper, the result hovering between object and image in a way that rewards sustained looking. The title, "pieces of wall," functions less as description than as provocation, directing attention toward questions of what constitutes a boundary, a support, or a built environment reduced to its most elemental remnants. This piece arrives from an early period in Caesar's practice, predating the large-scale resin-encased accumulations that would later define his reputation in contemporary sculpture, and it offers collectors a rare glimpse into the conceptual groundwork underlying his broader body of work. The modest dimensions, 27.9 by 21.6 centimeters, belie a considerable formal presence, and the included frame situates the work as a finished, exhibition-ready object with institutional weight. Signed by the artist, it carries clear provenance and is currently presented through Galerie Antoinette. For collectors interested in works that sit at the intersection of material investigation and conceptual economy, this piece represents an intellectually rigorous and historically significant entry point into Caesar's practice. Its scale makes it well-suited to intimate display contexts, while its conceptual density ensures it holds its own among more monumental works in a collection.
