John Baldessari — Fox, maquette for Elbow Series (B1)
John Baldessari

Fox, maquette for Elbow Series (B1)

1999

"Fox, maquette for Elbow Series (B1)" is a small-scale sculptural study by conceptual artist John Baldessari that explores the relationship between language and form through three-dimensional abstraction. As a maquette, it serves as a preliminary model for a larger work, demonstrating Baldessari's characteristic approach of translating linguistic and conceptual ideas into physical objects. The piece exemplifies his practice of deconstructing meaning and challenging conventional representation through spare, elemental forms.
