Vik Muniz

Caravaggio’s Medusa (Medusa Marinara) features an image of Muniz’s recreation of Caravaggio’s Medusa (1590, Gallerica degli Uffizi, Florence) rendered in pasta marinara. The pasta “drawing” was then photographed and digitally printed on this porcelain plate fabricated in France. This sought-after edition was published by the Peter Norton Family Christmas Project in 1999.

The image used on this ashtray by Vik Muniz is taken from Caspar David Friedrich’s The Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818). As might be expected, Muniz, known for using unusual materials like ketchup or chocolate to recreate masterpieces, has drawn the image using cigarette ashes and butts. He then photographed the image and had it screened onto a beautiful porcelain ashtray made at Limoges in Bernardaud, France. The rim of the ashtray is then hand-painted in silver leaf. Published by the Peter Norton Family Christmas Project.

The digital C-prints that comprise this eight-part series (Repro: Eight Color Spectrum), present a blizzard of art-historical images — all of them culled from books.  Combined in layers at stupefying density, they rival in complexity and virtuosity collages made by Hannah Höch, Romare Beardon, Jess Collins and Bruce Conner.

Our partners at The Skateroom, who collaborated with the artist's estate to make this edition, donate a significant part of their profit to support social initiatives that make the world a better place.

Vik Muniz is a New York-based, Brazilian-born experimental media artist who has gained renown through his work with chocolate, dust and other quotidian materials. For Private Eyes, Muniz photographed and then scanned a pristine collection of over a thousand Victorian-era glass eyes, Muniz chose to arrange the eyes in a loose grid rather than a more complex pattern, valuing an appreciation of the individual objects over the composition as a whole.
