MOCA members get a first look at Catherine Opie: 700 Nimes Road, featuring images Opie took over the course of six months, both on the grounds of and inside Elizabeth Taylor’s home. The subjects are wildly diverse—a dog-eared remote control manual, Taylor’s enormous closets, shelves of tchotchkes and priceless works of art—telling more about Taylor’s life than any celebrity portrait ever could. Through Opie’s thoughtful eye, Taylor’s home tells a poignant story and reveals the arc of a fascinating life.
