Gabriel Orozco
Publisher's Description
Gabriel Orozco emerged at the beginning of the 1990s as
one of the most intriguing and original artists of his generation,
one of the last to come of age during the twentieth
century. His work is unique in its formal power and intellectual
rigor, resisting confinement to one medium and roaming
freely and fluently among drawing, photography, sculpture,
installation and painting. Orozco deliberately blurs the
boundary between the art object and the everyday environment,
situating his work in a place that merges art and
reality, whether through exquisite drawings made on airplane
boarding passes or sculptures composed of recovered
trash. This publication examines two decades of the artist’s
production year by year, from 1989 through 2009. Each section
is richly illustrated and includes a short text, based on
interviews with the artist, that combines biographical information
with a brief and focused discussion of selected
works. Critical essays by Ann Temkin, Benjamin H.D. Buchloh
and Briony Fer supplement these foundational and chronological
explorations, providing new insights and strategies
for grounding Orozco’s work in the larger landscape of contemporary
art production.
