About this artwork
Since 2000 R. H. Quaytman has produced over twenty-five “chapters” of paintings, each chapter structured around a specific theme or concept and comprising numerous individual works. Exhibited at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, Passing Through the Opposite of What It Approaches, Chapter 25 revisits aspects of the venue’s exhibition history and interior architecture. The work’s composition includes allusions to two of the artist’s artistic influences—Niele Toroni (the panel’s silkscreened background is of a Toroni work as installed at the Society in 1990) and Daniel Buren (whose signature vertical stripes punctuate the image). Chapter 25 enacts a larger art historical dialogue and performs as a visual archive of the Renaissance Society.
