74V02 Possibly 1973 - 1993

John Divola's "74V02" is a black and white photograph depicting a piece of fabric draped over the corner of an interior wall, marked with black spray paint and various holes. It is thought to date from 1973 to 1993, when the artist was exploring themes of urban decay and the process of artistic creation. The image is characteristic of Divola's "Vandalism" series, where he manipulated found objects and spaces, capturing the raw, transient nature of these environments. The photograph's starkness and minimal composition accentuate the inherent beauty of decay and destruction, challenging traditional perceptions of art and beauty.
