Vik Muniz is a Brazilian artist currently working out of New York.
Muniz is well known for his broad range of experimental works. While he started his career as a sculptor, his practice today is almost entirely photo-based — creating works but then photographing them.
Muniz’s interest in human visual understanding is the running theme behind the majority of his work, of which a photograph called Key, from Earthworks is a perfect example. The "Earthworks" series also includes images of electrical outlets, tobacco pipes, footprints, scissors, dice, paper airplanes, envelopes, and coat hangers. The juxtaposition of intimate, inanimate objects and the living, changing landscape renders this photographic series truly striking.
Muniz's innovative and shifting methods of visual communication are what constantly earn him recognition and admiration internationally. He frequently destabilizes the conventions of the art history canon by revisiting or appropriating conventions and icons but realizing them in unconventional materials and creative strategies.
Muniz's work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art to name a few.

Haystack, After Monet #3 (Pictures of Color)
By Vik Muniz
Located in Greenwich, CT
Haystack, After Monet #3 was created by Vik Muniz for his 'Pictures of Color' series. The art is 47.5 x 67 inches and the framed size is 52.25 x 72.5 inches. There is a label on the verso with the artist's signature and edition number AP 1/5. From the total edition of 15 of which there were 10 Arabics and 5 APs. Framed in the original artist's frame. Literature: Pedro Corrêa do Lago, Vik Muniz: Obra Completa 1987-2009, Rio de Janeiro, 2009, pg.456. Vik Muniz — Haystack, After Monet #3 (from Pictures of Color) Vik Muniz’s Pictures of Color series stands at a pivotal moment in the evolution of visual culture. Conceived for the Venice Biennale, the series responds to the year when digital cameras first outsold film cameras worldwide, a symbolic tipping point in how images are made, shared, and believed. While exploring Venice’s long tradition of mosaic art, Muniz recognized a striking parallel between ancient mosaics and the emerging digital pixel: both construct images from countless discrete units, inviting viewers to experience perception as an assembly of parts. In Pictures of Color, Muniz replaces the pixel with a tactile, analog counterpart: Pantone color chips. Each work is composed of thousands of hand-placed squares, arranged with meticulous precision to form images that appear crisp and cohesive at a distance. As the viewer approaches, the illusion dissolves into grids of pure color. This oscillation between clarity and fragmentation, between image and code, lies at the heart of the series. Muniz reveals the mechanics behind seeing in the digital age, prompting the viewer to consider how images are built, translated, and trusted. Within this broader project, Muniz created a subseries dedicated to reinterpreting Monet’s iconic haystacks. Monet’s original paintings...

Rhodotorulic Acid. Woodcut in colors. Signed.
By Damien Hirst
Located in Paris, FR
HIRST Damien (1965 - ) Rhodotorulic Acid. Woodcut in colors. Signed. Provenance : DTR Modern Gallery, New York. About Damien Hirst (Artist) British artist Damien Hirst is widely considered the enfant terrible of contemporary art. He is the most prominent of the so-called Young British Artists, or YBAs, a group, largely composed of Hirst’s classmates at Goldsmiths, in London, that began exhibiting together in warehouses and factories after 1988 and is known for the use of unconventional materials and “shock tactics.” In the 1990s, Hirst said, “I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.” And indeed, he is notorious for piquing critics and baffling the public with such pieces as his signature glass vitrines containing dead sheep or sharks in formaldehyde, and his diamond-encrusted skull, For the Love of God. Working primarily in sculpture, Hirst takes after French modernist master Marcel Duchamp in his use of ready-made objects and materials, which he combines to ironic effect. He often creates in series, as with The Cure (Violet) and The Cure (Turquoise), both from 2014, which are among several pill paintings...
