< > ABOVE: Gordon Lebredt, Wallpaper. Photo credit: Ernest Mayer. (Note: To navigate please click arrows or image.) 18 Wallpaper 1974 / 2005 serigraph, a/p 4 separate prints: 38.0 x 38.0 cm each Collection of Michael Lebredt Wallpaper was Lebredt's first print produced while in art school. It is based on the image captured by a Polaroid camera “negative,” i.e., the normally discarded paper backing that is peeled off the face of a developed print. According to Lebredt, “Each individual print of the original edition consisted of four almost identical components. For the exhibition By the Numbers, the only surviving example from that edition was cut apart, and the four component prints were reframed and then deposed across several blank supplementary wall panels (existing panels that can be secured over the gallery's two large window openings, thus extending the amount of wall surface available for display) which had been displaced from what would be their normal positions and function on the south wall of the space to take up positions, and a new function, directly opposite on the north wall. These two white sentinels are to be considered proxies not only for painting or, more importantly, any inscribable surface or subjectile including the display surfaces of the gallery itself but for an a priori general blankness or atopia.”
