Ugo Rondinone — SIEBTEROKTOBERNEUNZEHHUNDERTNEUNUNDNEUNZIG (No. 162)
Ugo Rondinone

SIEBTEROKTOBERNEUNZEHHUNDERTNEUNUNDNEUNZIG (No. 162)

2000

A black and white photograph presented in fifteen parts, this work by Ugo Rondinone is unified by the artist's distinctive frame fitted with yellow Plexiglas, which casts a warm, chromatic filter over the monochromatic imagery. The piece is characteristic of Rondinone's interest in transforming perception and atmosphere through deceptively simple formal interventions. The work's title — a German-language date, October 7, 1999 — grounds the fragmented visual experience in a precise yet enigmatic moment in time.
