Davis Lisboa

This is one of the subdivisions of "The Paintings Section from Davis Museum Barcelona" (www.davismuseum.com). Drawing inspiration from Marcel Duchamp, Robert Filliou, and Marcel Broodthaers—celebrated for founding their own museums—this collection of contemporary figurative self-portrait paintings expands the artistic tradition of self-institutionalization. It explores the artist's complex role as creator, curator, and subject, delving into the interplay between identity, artwork, and the museum as a conceptual construct.
