Slide 1 of 9,

Sixteen years ago the Museum of Modern Art granted Gabriel Orozco, a little-known Mexican artist, his first solo show in the United States. Rejecting the pristine gallery used by MoMA's Project Series for emerging artists, Mr. Orozco chose instead the museum's nooks and crannies. What many remember best about that small show was a whimsical piece not even in the museum itself: "Home Run," an arrangement of fresh oranges in the apartment and office windows across 54th Street.
