Red curtain
Variable dimensions

Under the title Museo (2018) (Museum), the artist appropriates the large red curtain existing in the room, which on this occasion appears partially open. Valverde takes as reference the self-portrait The Artist and His Museum painted in 1822 by the American artist Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827), in which the author reveals behind a curtain his museum made up of fossils, stuffed animals and other decorative objects, which constituted the first American museum.
