John Baldessari: Sculptures

Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles Los Angeles · Mid-City

Exhibition on view: Sep 11, 2026 - Dec 19, 2026

This exhibition at Sprüth Magers highlights the sculptural dimension of John Baldessari’s practice. Bringing together sculptures, bas-reliefs, installations, and wallpaper projects, it reveals how the artist extended his explorations of language, photography, and painting into three-dimensional space through playful manipulations of scale, perception, and humor.

John Baldessari

John Baldessari (1931–2020) was a pioneer of American conceptual art. Based in Los Angeles, he rejected traditional boundaries and expanded what art could be, becoming one of the best-known artists of his time and shaping generations of artists from David Salle and Jack Goldstein to Cindy Sherman and Barbara Kruger. His work grappled with the clichés that shape how art is seen.
