Gabriel Orozco : photographs / by Phyllis Rosenzweig -- The cypress in the orchard / by Mia Fineman
Summary:
Since the 1980s, the artist has been photographing common objects as he finds them-"self-arranged" on the streets-or as situations in which he has gently intervened, creating striking but temporary compositions in the urban landscape. Orozco's photographs inspire his work in other media, including sculpture, installation, video and drawing. The Hirshhorn, co-published with Steidl, "Gabriel Orozco: Photographs," the first major publication focused solely on Orozco's photographic work. Essays by Rosenzweig and Mia Fineman, research associate in the Department of Photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, present in-depth analyses of the artist's photographs, exploring the difference between the photographs he regards as artworks in their own right and his equally beautiful documentary images of his sculptures and performances.
