The book and the portfolio, with their hidden jokes, testify to the artists\u2019 joyful, humorous exchange of medium. John Baldessari, the father of the \u201epicture generation\u201c, and Lawrence Weiner, the maker of \u201estatements\u201c, have taken a daring leap into their partner\u2019s terrain with stunning results. A story has emerged that shakes the very foundations of narration and addresses the subjectivity of appearances.
