《约翰•巴尔德萨里全集》的第五卷汇编了这位有影响力的美国概念画家（1931年生）从2005年至2010年创作的大约367件作品。在这些年中，该艺术家进行了一系列的创作，包括对《阻塞》的塑造性删除; “ Prima Facie”的文字和图像并置；《鼻子和耳朵等等》中对脸的探索。 和《抬起眉毛/皱眉的额头》； 无声油画作品《沉积物》。目录条目使读者可以追踪巴尔德萨里这些年的变化和发展，这是一个持续的实验和审美升华的时期，在巴尔德萨里和他的艺术家同僚David Salle之间的对话中对其进行了进一步探讨。汉娜•希金斯（Hannah B. Higgins）的一篇批评性文章对部分作品进行了仔细的阅读，并为理解巴尔德萨里这一时期的艺术作品提供了历史背景。

The fifth volume of the John Baldessari Catalogue Raisonné compiles the approximately 367 works made by the influential American conceptual artist (b. 1931) from 2005 through 2010. During these years, the artist undertook a number of series, including the shaped erasures of “Blockage”; the word-and-image juxtapositions of “Prima Facie”; the explorations of the face in “Nose and Ears, Etc.” and “Raised Eyebrows/Furrowed Foreheads”; and the muted, spare “Sediment” works on canvas.   Catalogue entries allow readers to trace the shifts and developments in Baldessari’s work during these years, a time of continued experimentation and aesthetic distillation that is further explored in a conversation between Baldessari and fellow artist David Salle. A critical essay by Hannah B. Higgins provides a close reading of selected works and gives a historical context for understanding Baldessari’s art from this period.
