Gabriel Orozco

(American/Mexican, born 1962)

Gabriel Orozco is widely regarded as one of the most influential contemporary artists of his generation. Employing a diverse practice that includes installation, sculpture, painting, and photography, Orozco’s work is characterized by its focus on reinterpreting everyday objects. In his seminal Horses Running Endlessly (1993), the artist presents what at first appears to be a normal chessboard but is in fact alien, custom made to have four tones instead of two, twice as many squares, and only knights as players. “What is most important is not so much what people see in the gallery or the museum, but what people see after looking at these things, how they confront reality again,” he has said. Born on April 27, 1962 in Jalapa, Veracruz, his father was the Mexican muralist Mario Orozco Rivera. Through his father, Gabriel Orozco was exposed to the world of galleries and artists at a young age, and he went on to study at the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid. He has been the subject of several major exhibitions, including a 2009 mid-career retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art in New York which went travelled to the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and finally the Tate Modern in London. He currently lives and works between Mexico City, Mexico, New York, NY, and Paris, France. Today, the artist’s works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, among others.
