Mobile Matrix, 2006


This is a sculpture by Gabriel Orozco in the Museum of Modern Art. It is a Gray Whale skeleton from Mexico, with graphite markings on it. It is suspended in a huge atrium and is a spectacular object to see. So many visitors to the museum stop and photograph it, or have their picture taken with it. As you can see it dwarfs visitors. This is just one of the many pieces in an exhibit of photographs, sculptures and paintings by this amazing artist.
