John Baldessari died. Last night I played my 7-year-old Supermarché’s short documentary about him, “A Brief History of John Baldessari.” (Wonderfully narrated by Tom Waits!) Owen laughed the whole way through it, pronounced it “the funniest video I’ve ever seen,” and requested that we watch it again. Watch it, it’s great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU7V4GyEuXA Off the top

Through video, on canvas, in collage, and, yes, with his signature painted dots on faces, artist John Baldessari has punched holes through modernism, turned conceptualism on its head, and created a body of work that is part comedic, part tragic, utterly semiotic, and absolutely all his own.
