Sachs (b. 1966) works across sculpture, installation, and painting, developing a practice centred on DIY fabrication, engineering logic, and the replication of cultural objects. Items here document exhibitions at Thaddaeus Ropac and other venues, preserving the printed infrastructure through which Sachs’ practice has circulated internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tom-sachs-painting-volume-ii-thaddaeus-ropac-paris-2024","title":"Tom Sachs — “Painting” (Volume II), Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e14.5 × 21 cm.

Rather than reproducing canonical works directly, Sachs meticulously reconstructed famous paintings as hand-made objects, complete with pencilled measurements, annotations, and workshop conventions that expose the mechanics of copying. The reproduced \u003cem\u003ePortrait de Dora Maar\u003c\/em\u003e becomes less a Picasso than a record of translation, where fabrication, labour, and authorship remain visible on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis invitation adopts the exhibition’s central image as its primary graphic, allowing the work to circulate beyond the gallery as a printed support. It functions simultaneously as announcement, reproduction, and portable trace of the exhibition. Like much of Sachs’ practice, the card quietly collapses distinctions between original and copy, artwork and instruction, image and object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips flat in a protective sleeve with rigid backing.
