In 2005, Aperture published Reflex: A Vik Muniz Primer, a highly personal and entertaining account of the artist’s life and work. In this image, inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers, Muniz has reinterpreted the artist’s painting through meticulously placed Pantone color swatches. Sunflowers (After van Gogh) is from the 2002 series Pictures of Colors. For over a decade, Muniz has created a multilayered body of work by photographing drawings and collages inspired by iconic art historical images. He is also one of the artists featured in the sixtieth-anniversary exhibition Aperture Remix. estimated retail value :
