Exploring the traditional distinctions between content, dimension and image, Tauba Auerbach's cerebral compositions challenge our conventional expectations. Elegant and intriguing, Untitled (Fold) emanates a distinctive luminosity, capturing the gentle rays of warm light across what appears at first to be a richly textured and gently colored crumple of cloth. Upon closer inspection, however, Untitled (Fold) reveals itself to be a masterful, modern example of trompe l'oeil. One of Auerbach's celebrated Folds series, the work is illusory; this canvas is in fact a perfectly flat surface. From afar, it is voluminous, furrowed and tactile. Auerbach's skillful application of paint renders the shadows of an undulating surface of folded fabric, perfectly sumptuous and tangible. Drawing in close, however, the viewer realizes that these voluminous folds are a farce and don’t so much vanish as transmogrify into a flattened facsimile of their former selves, immediately revealing the even surface of the painted canvas. This even surface is but only the second layer of this ever evolving and complex painting. Auerbach’s practice and methodology is tantamount to a cyclical question whereby the answer to one element serves to open up an entirely new “problem” for the viewer and critic. Indeed, she herself has stated that “Confusion and clarity—and then confusion again. ” are the reactions she hopes to elicit in someone viewing her work. “I think the ideas behind the work are not right on the surface and you have to spend a little time with it to get at the underlying concepts and recognize the patterns. Hopefully the pieces are visually stimulating enough to draw people in and cultivate curiosity in the viewer. I guess I just want people to contemplate how communication happens and how complicated it is. ” (T. Auerbach in conversation with D. A. Beatty, “Speak Easy,” anthem, No. 24, September/October, 2006, p. 80)
