This 2019 brightly colored etching entitled "Amazing" by Mel Bochner contains the artist’s well-known use of text and use of language in the visual. Bochner’s paintings with text were recently the subject of a retrospective entitled “Mel Bochner: Strong Language” at the Jewish Museum in New York City.
One of the Founders of the Conceptual Art Movement in the 1970s, Mel Bochner has always been interested in systems involving language or numbers. He has now found a new audience with his brightly colored paintings with provocative language taken from popular culture. As such he has been identified as one of the “Neo-Pop” artists, such as Jeff Koons, who have reinterpreted the Pop iconography for the 21st century.
This etching was executed in 2019 and is signed, dated and numbered in pencil with full margins.
