His latest project is titled "The Sum of Our Parts," a photographic project celebrating the workers of Gourmet Garage on Broome Street in Soho ...
For the series of hyper-realist paintings, Hoppe took photos of the workers... their photos were taken during a period of nine sessions, not lasting more then 15 minutes each.
...and here are a few of the photos...
The exhibit, presented by the Woodward Gallery, is in the front windows of the Gourmet Garage on Broome and Mercer through August. Gourmet Garage opened as a wholesaler in 1981 ... and as a storefront in 1992.

great photo series. Good job Curt. clayton
Ah, two of my favorite checkers...I eat lunch here and the soup/sushi/counter guys work hard and are always friendly. They deserve medals for tolerating often obnoxious customers.
Clever use of the art space. Everyone is a winner: the workers, Gourmet Garage, Woodward Gallery, and especially Hoppe.
Really great photos. Thank you for posting them.
