From the Fondazione Echaurren Salaris

Pablo Echaurren and Claudia Salaris have formed the most complete collection of books, newspapers and posters of Futurism. The collection also contains counterculture publications and the vintage electric bass – the instrument that revolutionized the sound of an era. The collections, together with a large body of works by Matta and Echaurren himself, consist of a puzzle which reflects the life and passions of its founders. Looking at the variety of works, the foundation is divided into five areas, five fingers as represented in its logo, bearing the initials of its promoters in its palm. Between the lines of this hand one can also see suggestions of twentieth century history, such as the Boîte-en-valise, the Duchamp’s original Matta -Rebus and other artists which make up a collection in progress.
