Note

"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.
