"Can I do a portrait of you with your favorite work of art?" This is the question Sandra Kogut put to gallery-goers, chosen more or less at random, in the famed Musée d’Orsay in Paris. The responses were often quite precise: "My favorite is on the top floor; do you mind going up there?" or "I’m going to show you a painting that reflects my own life." Thus began the walks she made, some of them miles long, in search of these images. Kogut’s work asks where these people will lead us and where these works of art are leading them.
