Over the last twenty years, Gabriel Orozco (Mexican, b. 1962) has forged a career marked by constant surprise and innovation, roaming freely and fluently among drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, and painting. Sixteen years after The Museum of Modern Art organized the artist’s first solo museum show, MoMA presents Gabriel Orozco, a major mid-career retrospective exhibition examining two decades of the artist’s career.

Many of Orozco’s works have become indisputable classics of the art of the 1990s, such as the Citroën automobile surgically reduced to two-thirds its normal width (La DS, 1993), and the human skull covered with a graphite grid (Black Kites, 1997). This exhibition will provide the opportunity for many of these works to be seen for the first time in New York, with a rich selection of objects, drawings, paintings, and photographs complementing and providing context for Orozco’s large sculptures and installations.
