NOTE:
An artist’s bracelet, made in two copies (inv. 720) that differed in colour and finish. The central element of Film muto cites Schermo-Disegno from 1957 (inv. 186), as an embodiment of the artist’s work. The silver is dulled to look like a less precious metal, or an heirloom marked by time and history.
