“Description of works and documents forming an inseparable set, given by Christian Boltanski to the Valentin-Musäum Im Isartor, Munich. Christian Boltanski borrowed the traditional form of past catalogues such as those to be found in archaeological museums. This little book was conceived as a tibute to a German comic who was very popular in the 1920s, Karl Valentin, the inspiration for Christian Boltanski’s comic sketches”. (Calle 2008)
