Vik Muniz: Pictures of Anything
This comprehensive exhibition of Vik Muniz (born in Brazil, 1961) covers 25 years of the artist's oeuvre, in which familiar images from the history of art and other sources are transformed in scale and into unexpected materials – sugar, chocolate, ketchup, diamonds, dust and garbage – in a process culminating in a new photographic image. Muniz’ work challenges conventional viewing and raises questions about appropriation, original and copy.
The exhibition includes most of his series, including “Pictures of Chocolate,” “Pictures of Dust,” “Pictures of Earth” and “Pictures of Garbage.”
The exhibition is held with the support of the Friends of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in Israel, Sara Szold and Nili Lipman, and Hezi Cohen Gallery Catalogue published with the support of the Marc Rich Foundation
