Description

Mark Bradford’s Life Size (2019) is a sculptural paper multiple that merges the artist’s signature materiality with a refined print and casting process. Created from pigmented cast handmade cotton paper and enriched with ink, gouache, and letterpress elements, the work exemplifies Bradford’s commitment to merging physical texture with layered conceptual meaning.

Life Size references the tactile presence and dimensionality found throughout Bradford’s practice, where paper is not merely a surface but a sculptural medium. The dense, richly coloured cast sheet evokes the artist’s urban-inspired abstractions while simultaneously functioning as a standalone sculptural object.

This example is signed, dated, and numbered /45 on the reverse, part of a limited edition produced in collaboration with Dieu Donné, the Brooklyn-based workshop renowned for its mastery of hand-papermaking. Published by Hauser & Wirth in Los Angeles, the work demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and stands as a significant piece within Bradford’s print and paper-based oeuvre.
