Joe Fig

[1] His early work includes reproductions of the studios of legendary modern artists, such as Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns, and Willem de Kooning.

[6] Fig asks them a series of questions about their daily routines and the history of their practice,[7] before photographing and recording their studio and its contents.

[9] The artworks both champion the creative process and reveal the mundane tasks involved in making art.

The works contain such details as spectacles resting on a desk, books stacked on shelves, or paint drips on a floor.

[16] Fig also contributed to the book Narcissus in the Studio, which was published by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2010.
