Tom Sachs' Camera Exhibition

Claire Sullivan - Thursday, September 10, 2009

Tom Sachs is a sculptor and probably best known for his elaborate recreations of modern icons. He famously recreated Knoll office furniture out of phone books and duct tape and later recreated Le Corbusier's 1952 Unité d'Habitation using only foamcore and a glue gun. His exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is now offering a snapshot of his work that focuses solely on his recreations of cameras. The work spans his lifetime, the earliest piece, a clay replica of a Nikon SLR that Sachs made when he was only eight years old as a gift for his father.
