Gabriel Orozco

LAST COPIES

Gabriel Orozco visited the old guest apartments of Prince and Princess de Broglie (the last private owners of Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire) for but a few moments when his gaze was drawn straight to the torn wallpaper remains - so discreet that they were no longer noticed. These faded impressions, modest vestiges, extremly fragile traces of a past now behind us, immediatly captured the imagination of this exceptional artist, who had been invited to "take over the château" as part of a special commission for the Centre-Loire Valley region.
