About this work
Overview
Created in 2002, this rectangular work on paper employs oil paint and is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s collection. Lacking a discernible narrative or figurative element, the piece relies on its modest color field and surface qualities to engage the viewer’s perception.
Technique & Style
The surface is dominated by a pale yellow tone that deepens slightly toward the left side. A narrow band of soft pink runs along the upper edge, and each corner contains a small perforation. The overall effect is one of restrained geometry and subtle tonal variation.
Context
The artist, Bernardo Ortiz Campo, is known for exploring minimal color arrangements and the materiality of paint. This piece reflects his interest in reducing visual language to essential hues and surfaces, encouraging close inspection of subtle shifts in tone.
History & Provenance
Since its creation, the work has been retained by the Museum of Modern Art, where it is displayed as part of the institution’s holdings of early‑21st‑century minimalist practices.
