Tauba Auerbach — I Doubt It/But I Do It I
Tauba Auerbach

I Doubt It/But I Do It I

2008

Tauba Auerbach's *I Doubt It/But I Do It I* is a work on paper rendered in gouache and pencil that reflects the artist's ongoing fascination with language, logic, and paradox. The title's self-contradicting phrase seems to materialize visually through Auerbach's precise, system-driven mark-making, where pattern and repetition embody a tension between certainty and doubt. The intimate scale of paper grounds an otherwise conceptually expansive meditation on the relationship between thought, action, and artistic process.
