Yes the linguistics of titles are infinitely important and reveal meanings and intentions. They also speak to the poetry involved when naming a piece. Titles, in the hands of great artists, act as on-ramps for interpretation and engagement.
I might add, on the Baldessari piece, that the word “Heel” is also a dog command and since there is a dog (Lassie?) in the upper left hand panel, should be considered as one of the multitude of meanings.
As for the Kruger piece, I feel shafted as a viewer every time I visit BCAM that the interior walls of that large elevator are not glass so as to provide a kenetic word experience in the ascension to the third floor.
Cheers,
