By using images of stolen art, Ezawa implicates himself in the lineage of theft and the dilemma of ownership, especially in the digital world where the availability of images has made information sampling and manipulation so commonplace that the line between real and fake has been blurred. — Lita Barrie, Hyperallergic The Crime of Art brings attention to several of Kota Ezawa’s key projects from 2000 and 2017. Coinciding with a solo exhibition at SITE Santa Fe, this volume presents photographs and reproductions from the artist’s exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, and Amherst, in which the artist featured his lightbox renderings of paintings stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. The book also draws connections to other works by Ezawa that contemplate crime. Among them are his animated films The Simpson Verdict (2002) and The Unbearable Lightness of Being (2005), as well as his ongoing drawing series The History of Photography Remix , which includes hand-drawn recreations of historic crime scene photography.
