Scope and Contents

Each pair of eyeglasses is unique, an analogy to the ready-mades of Duchamp. The box that contains the book and objects has the appearance of an oversized wooden match box. Bloomberg News published a mostly negative review of Miami's private art collections and Art Basel Miami in general. However, Favre's work was mentioned in a positive light: "To be surprised, you had to venture into the smaller galleries and satellite fairs. Discoveries for me were Christopher Kurtz's wood sculptures, including "First Dark" (2010), an abstract amalgamation of ornament, bird and star; Valerie Favre's inventive, narrative ink drawings and collages exploring themes of performance and dream; and the quirky, mixed-media tree sculptures of Gonzalo Gonzalez." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
