Inspired by Gustave Courbet’s The Artist’s Studio: A real allegory of a seven year phase in my artistic and moral life (1855), contemporary artist Tony Oursler (b. 1957) created his own three-dimensional studio identical in size to Courbet’s painting. The mixed-media installation playfully merges the artist's professional and personal lives into a narrative fashioned as allegory. A second gallery holds "Climaxed," Mr. Oursler's most recent work.
Accompanied by a related publication.
