Anordnung: Clearly Visible/Strongly Sewn1985

Oil on linen90 x 56 in / 229 x 142 cm

In Anordnung: Clearly Visible/Strongly Sewn, Korot employs traditional canvas, where the grid’s structure is less prominent, and a calligraphic gesture creates a landscape for the human figure. A young girl from a Holocaust photograph is silhouetted as a patch amid Korot’s abstract language and the words "one language one speech," referencing the Tower of Babel. The painting features layers of oil paint washed away with turpentine and embedded in the cloth, creating a palimpsest that captures the passage of time.
