The Four Friends exhibition at Tony Shafrazi closed two months ago, but you can still see it, sort of. American gallery owner Gavin Brown and Swiss artist Urs Fischer photographed Four Friends in its entirety (including the paintings, walls, ceiling, and guards), reproducing it at full scale and turning the show into wallpaper. Brown and Fischer then placed a variety of modern and contemporary works around and on top of the wallpaper so that, for example, a Francis Bacon partially obscures a Kenny Scharf. It's a bold juxtapositional experiment, although the show's highlight — Rob Pruitt's Viagra Falls, which cascades down the gallery's steps — still stands apart.
