1989 'Not Even So'

1989

About the Item

Not Even So is an original exhibition poster created by John Baldessari for his 1989 exhibition at Ivam Centre Julio González. The poster features a striking split image—on one side, pelicans in flight, and on the other, a woman deep in thought with her finger on her chin. This juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated images is a hallmark of Baldessari's conceptual art style, where he often explores themes of perception, interpretation, and the relationship between text and image. The split imagery in Not Even So invites viewers to draw connections between the natural world and human introspection. The pelicans, symbols of freedom and flight, contrast with the woman's contemplative pose, perhaps suggesting a tension between instinct and thought or nature and human emotion. Baldessari often challenged traditional narratives in art, using disjointed images to provoke reflection on how we assign meaning. Shipping and Handling: We ship Worldwide.

Joseph Kosuth 'Zero & Not' Vintage
By Joseph Kosuth
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This first-edition exhibition poster was created for Joseph Kosuth’s solo show at Leo Castelli Gallery, held from May 17 to June 14, 1986. Kosuth, a leading figure in conceptual art, is known for challenging traditional notions of representation, meaning, and authorship in art. His work often employs language, definitions, and philosophical inquiry to explore the relationship between objects, words, and ideas. Kosuth was a frequent exhibitor at Castelli Gallery in the late 1980s, a period when he was refining his investigations into semiotics, linguistics, and the nature of art itself. His exhibitions often featured text-based works, neon installations, and philosophical references, reinforcing his belief that art exists as an idea rather than a physical object. The meaning of this exhibition—and by extension, the poster—likely aligns with Kosuth’s broader practice: art as intellectual engagement, where the work is not about aesthetics but about questioning how meaning is constructed. The exhibition poster serves as both an artifact and an extension of Kosuth’s conceptual framework, making it a historically significant piece for collectors interested in conceptual art and the role of Castelli Gallery in shaping contemporary discourse.
