Limited Edition of 75

Photographer and mixed-media artist Vik Muniz is best known for repurposing everyday materials for intricate and heavily layered recreations of canonical artworks. Layered appropriation is a consistent theme in Munizs work. 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 Hch, Romare Beardon, Jess Collins and Bruce Conner.
