Sandy Skoglund is known as a photographer of bizarre, painstakingly constructed scenes, which are usually dismantled after the photographs are taken. However, the Denver Art Museum’s Fox Games is the exception; it is the life-size set itself, as well as the photograph. Visitors are welcome to roam through the hallucinatory work, a partial inventory of which includes ten red tablecloths, twenty red chairs, 134 red dinner rolls in twelve red bread baskets, twenty-eight gray foxes, and one red fox with a squirrel in its mouth - all individually sculpted in clay and cast in polyester resin.
