Untitled (Red) 1990

Editor: So, this is Peter Soriano's "Untitled (Red)." It's hard to pinpoint the date, but I am drawn to the textures achieved with what looks like printmaking. What is your reading of this piece, especially considering its materials? Curator: The layering of red suggests a process driven by repetition. The visible texture is crucial; it tells us about the labor involved, the physical act of printing. Does the lack of a definite date or even a title affect our understanding of its market value and consumption? Editor: That’s a good point about the title, or lack thereof. It makes me think the process is more important than any specific meaning. Thanks for pointing that out! Curator: Indeed, it invites us to consider the means of production, moving beyond simply appreciating the finished product. A valuable insight for us both.
