cf. Exhibition catalogue, Shiro Kuramata 1934-1991, Tokyo, Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, 1997, pp. 67, 69, 192.
Another 'Cabinet des Curiosité' from this edition was included in the exhibition Shiro Kuramata 1934-1991 at the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, June - September 1996, which traveled to Centro Cultural/Arte Contemporaneo A.C., Mexico City, April - June 1997; Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, August - December 1997; Grey Art Gallery and Study Center, New York University, February - May 1998; Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Montreal, Canada, June - September 1998; Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, October - December 1998; Österreichisches Museum fur Angewandte Kunst, Vienna, January - March 1999; National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, June - August 1999.
Working in various shades of tinted Perspex acrylics, the perimeter of Kuramata's cabinet appears liquid, seemingly dissolving the solidity of the form itself.
This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Mieko Kuramata.
