Throwing Three Balls in the Air to Get a Straight Line (Best of Thirty-Six Attempts), 1973
This iconic photographic series by American conceptual artist John Baldessari explores the tension between chance and control. Composed of 12 frames showing the artist (or his hand) throwing three orange balls into the blue sky, the work is a playful attempt to create order out of randomness. The piece's deadpan title and minimal composition exemplify Baldessari's unique blend of conceptual rigour and visual wit.
