This unique edition by John Armleder reduces painting to a simple yet striking system of dots, executed in two complementary variations: white on gold and gold on white. The work resonates with the legacies of Minimalism and geometric abstraction while at the same time playing with notions of decoration, taste, and seriality – central concerns throughout Armleder’s practice. As with much of his oeuvre, the surface seduces with clarity and elegance, yet beneath lies a subtle questioning of how we see, value, and display art.
