Adam McEwen’s work resides somewhere between the celebratory and funereal. After writing obituaries for the Daily Telegraph in London, he began producing obituaries of living subjects such as Bill Clinton and Jeff Koons, thus highlighting the blurred line between history and fiction. He is known for paintings employing wads of chewing gum on canvas that reference aerial images of bombed German cities and for machined graphite sculptures of such banal objects as a water cooler or this scale reproduction of the iconic Kikkoman soy sauce bottle produced by SculptureCenter.
