Note
  • "The first in a series of four publications based on a selection of works from "la Caixa" Collection of Contemporary Art, "Cabinet d'amateur, an oblique novel" is a new piece of writing by the preeminent Spanish novelist Enrique Vila-Matas"-- jacket.
  • "Conventional collection displays tend to group works by chronology, movement, medium or subject. Curators Nimfa Bisbe and Lydia Yee took a different approach. This volume is one of four books that documents a radical alternative conceived by the four literary authors they invited to select the displays. ... Each writer selects a group of works of art and transforms them into the protagonists of a drama that unfolds on the stage of the gallery and within the pages of one new story published in each of the four books."--Page 11.
  • Catalogue of an exhibition of works from "la Caixa" Collection of Contemporary Art held at Whitechapel Gallery, 17 January through 28 April 2019.
  • Artists whose works were selected by Vila-Matas for the exhibition: Miquel Barceló, Dora García, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Andreas Gursky, Carlos Pazos and Gerhard Richter.
