He made drawings based on photographs of the Whitney Museum’s galleries with dust collected by the Whitney’s maintenance staff; redrew photographs of the children of sugar plantation workers in sugar on black paper. To quote New York Times critic Vicki Goldberg, “Vik Muniz’s work tells us that seeing is not quite believing, that perceiving and understanding are balancing acts, that experience itself is a see-saw. . .”
In December 2008, The Museum of Modern Art opens “Artist’s Choice: Vik Muniz,” curated by the artist from MoMA’s collections. As witty in person as in his art, Muniz discusses his process and the philosophy that lies behind works that have been described as “an idea wrapped up in surprise and laughter.”
