Executed in 1998, John Baldessari's "8 Plants x 6 = 48" exemplifies the artist's continued exploration of conceptual art practices through photographic and mathematical systems. This significant print combines Baldessari's characteristic approach to seriality with his investigation of botanical subjects. The work illustrates his mature style, which emerged from his pioneering role in the development of Conceptual art in the 1970s.
Through precise documentation and mathematical ordering of plant specimens, Baldessari challenges traditional modes of artistic representation while engaging with themes of categorization and systematic observation that defined his late-career work.
