Subodh Gupta's untitled 2006 photograph of a black taxi with open doors and boxes on the roof, reflecting Indian street life.

// This untitled photograph by Subodh Gupta, taken in 2006, captures an iconic image of a black taxi in India, likely a Hindustan Ambassador, with cardboard boxes tied on the roof. The doors of the car are open, inviting a sense of halted motion or transition, and the yellow and black taxi, with its classic design, evokes the everyday life and unique charm of Indian streets. Gupta’s work often explores themes of migration, cultural identity, and the intersections between tradition and modernity. By focusing on a common object laden with cargo, he reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness embedded in daily life. Limited to an edition of just 5, this photograph encapsulates Gupta's fascination with the symbolic power of ordinary objects within Indian culture.

What is art fabrication?

Art Fabrication is a process used in the production of technically challenging or large-scale artworks. It occurs when a designer or artist is unable to fully realize their concept or design on their own and seeks assistance from a fabrication studio. These studios are equipped with specialized machinery, resources, and skilled labor necessary to execute complex art projects to a high standard.
