Product Details
Davis Lisboa, Galerie légitime #7, 2017. Oil on linen, 40 × 40 × 3.5 cm (15.7 × 15.7 × 1.38 in).
Inspired by the image of a NASA space helmet, this painting reimagines Robert Filliou’s Galerie légitime through a speculative shift in form and context. If Filliou proposed the hat as a portable exhibition space, this work extends that logic into another symbolic structure, linking the museum to ideas of mobility, containment, and projection.
Originally developed as part of The Paintings Section from Davis Museum Barcelona, this work was created within the only section of the museum in which artworks have circulated through acquisition.
Within this broader framework, it extends a lineage shaped by Marcel Duchamp’s Boîte-en-valise, Robert Filliou’s Galerie légitime, and Marcel Broodthaers’ Musée d’Art Moderne, Département des Aigles, where the museum itself becomes an artistic medium.
