Imagine that the great Spanish mastersPicasso, Mir, Dali, and Tpiesused photography to play with and reform their own works. What would these photographs look like? A convincing fictional answer is provided by Joan Fontcuberta, who after parodying various scientific disciplines (botany, zoology, astronomy) has taken to reinventing the history of art itselfby posing as the curator of such an exhibit, which was shown in the United States and Europe. Beyond the irony and humor of such a project, Fontcuberta explores such hotbutton issues as the symbiotic relationship between art and photography, concepts of authenticity and authorship in an age of mechanical reproduction, and everchanging notions about tradition and avantgardism in the art world.
