Caught
Curated by Mark Quint
The Museum Of__ proudly presents a selection of 441 realist portraits by artist Dana Van Horn. Completing a mugshot in monochromatic watercolor every evening between 9:30 and 11:00 PM, Van Horn began his practice as a nocturnal ritual in early 2021 after seeing a news article about colorizing 19th and early 20th century Australian mugshots.
The emergence of mugshots became standard practice in the 1840s, each photographed in a style which has remained uniform in presentation and composition.
