Collection of Notebooks
For its 10th anniversary, the Foundation published a mini-collection of 12 small art notebooks presented in boxset format. For every month of 2020, one of the Foundation’s curators selected a work from the collections, allowing the reader to discover it through the accompanying text and series of illustrations. Information is provided about the piece’s historical context, its author, symbolism and its place within the collection as a whole, showcasing the Foundation’s five different curatorial domains.
