Photograph in artist's frame
38 x 98 inches
Edition of 3 + 2 AP
The photograph is an itinerary to see all of the paintings by Hieronymus Bosch that exist in public and private collections world-wide, including The Garden of Earthly Delights (1503-1504) in the collection of the Museo Nacional del Prado. The top half of photograph shows a list of the works, the middle portion describes the length of stay in each city, and the bottom half lists hotel accommodations and means of transportation.
“Originating in London and concluding in New York, the meticulous intercontinental itinerary comprises 124 days of travel. The work takes the form of an eight-foot-long white-on-black chart; the trip itself, never consummated, remains an unfulfilled possibility—and is perhaps all the more satisfying for that.” -Christian Rattemeyer on Lisa Tan, Artforum, January 2006
