Press release

Exhibited at Almine Rech Gallery for the first time, Stephane Graff’s A Catalogue of Errors is an ongoing series begun in 2010, comprised of diptych panels that fuse text and painting.

Making reference to typical catalogue double-page spreads featuring a work of art to one side and its accompanying description on the other, the paintings here drift through space in pairs, with neither hierarchy nor chronology. Although, at first glance, we may focus on a work by Warhol, Duchamp, or even Picasso, reading the text on the left half nevertheless impedes our ability to instantly recognize the iconic language of the represented artist on the right.
