This micro-exhibition included three elements: a poster featuring a photograph of the installation Valley Curtain by Christo and Jeanne-Claude (1972), a display stand holding a copy of the book of the same title published by the Museum of Fine Arts in Caracas in 1975, which was designed by renowned Álvaro Sotillo, and a facsimile reproduction of the pages of this book, showing various documentary photographs made on site by photographers Shunk and Kender, reproduced here in black and white on blue or green paper.
The juxtaposition of these three elements was intended to highlight the various overlapping layers of authorship that accumulate in these pieces, through which the artists’ gigantic installation—which was on view for barely 24 hours—has come down to us.
