Curator's Statement Vik Muniz's Milan (Last Supper) is the first in his series of chocolate syrup photographs inspired by Andy Warhol's works of the late '70s and early '80s. A triptych, the three Muniz photo panels depict a rendering of "The Last Supper" as composed by Leonardo Da Vinci and appropriated by Warhol. However, Muniz' rendering is not a fresco, silk screen, or paint, but chocolate syrup captured by a photo. While the feat of drawing "The Last Supper" in chocolate is amazing and incomprehensible, the gesture is the first of what became a culpable photographic series called "After Warhol", that includes images of Mao, Elvis, and Marilyn among others. Muniz' "Pictures of Air" appeared in zingmagazine #16. Devon Dikeou |
