El robo del año / The Robbery of the Year
Ulises Carrión
The installation of The Robbery of the Year, by Ulises Carrión, was exhibited at the Drents Museum in Assens, the Netherlands, in 1982. The piece found a place in this provincial museum in spite of differing from the work that was usually shown there. The invitation to view an unprotected diamond in almost total darkness must have been disconcerting for the public. The enigmatic nature of the piece was captured by Claudio Goulart and this publication showcases the images taken at the time, while inducing readers to become witnesses of an open case.
