John Baldessari’s Money (with Space Between) turns a simple exchange of cash into a deadpan lesson in how images work. In this diptych, two cropped figures face each other, each holding a wad of green bills, while their identities are erased by bold, painterly circles of yellow and red. The “space between” them is psychological as much as physical: we see the transaction, but not the people, forcing us to focus on gesture, power, and the blunt presence of money itself. With his signature mix of found photography and flat color interventions, Baldessari transforms a generic scene of commerce into a witty, unsettling study of anonymity, value, and the way pictures shape what we think we know.
