About the work

Box, Hat, Frame and Chair incorporates much of what Baldessari is known for as an artist – conceptual depth, humour, and irony. As in much of his work, this composition includes references to film, photography and found objects.

This edition was created exclusively for the Whitechapel Gallery by John Baldessari, as a 'Whitechapel Gift', an annual commission created by established and highly sought-after contemporary artists.
