Cowley Abbott Auction House Biography and Notes

John Baldessari started as a semiabstract painter in the 1950s but grew so disenchanted with his own handiwork &#45 as well as the very notion of handiwork &#45 that in 1970 he decided to take his paintings to a San Diego funeral home and cremate them. He was ready to embrace a wide range of mediums: videos, photography, prints, sculpture, text-based art, installations and, yes, paintings, but most of all hybrid forms of these, like text painting.
