Specialist note
‘You would help me, and I would be infinitely grateful, if you could lend me “une pesante journée” which is one of my best works. I hope you understand my insistence: it would be very hard for me to curate this exhibition without this work. Some works are interchangeable but not this one. I miss it.’
