Joest ACI Communications http://amicale-citroen-internationale.org/?p=919 Gabriel Orozco is a Mexican artist, called “one of the most influential artists of this decade, and probably the next one too.” Many of Orozco’s works – which are often created specifically for the occasion of an exhibition – have become indisputable classics of 1990s art. Among the works on display is one of Gabriel Orozco’s most famous works, “La DS” (1993), a silver Citroën DS that has been sliced into three pieces lengthwise. The middle section was removed and the two remaining pieces were reassembled as a one seater. The result is an arrow-like car / sculpture, with a width 63.5 cm less than the original.

Gabriel Orozco was born 1962 in Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. He studied at Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas (Mexico City), and at Circulo de Bellas Artes (Madrid). He has participated in the Venice Biennale in 1993, 2003, and 2005, the Whitney Biennial in 1995 and 1997, as well as Documenta X (1997) and Documenta XI (2002).

During these months, an exhibition will tour through Europe, organized by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in collaboration with Kunstmuseum Basel (18 April 2010 – 8 August 2010), Musée national d’art moderne – Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (10 September 2010 – 11 Januar 2011) and Tate Modern, London (19 Januar – 25 April 2011). This exhibition will provide the opportunity for many of these to be seen for the first time from the MoMA New York and combine them with rich selections of work from Orozco’s vast body of smaller objects, paintings, and works on paper.
