Summary
"The printed edition, published by the Library Council of The Museum of Modern Art, presents a selection of artworks responding to the idea of travel and to Aira's novel Un episodio en la vida del pintor viajero (2000), both the original Spanish edition and the English translation, An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter (2006). The novel concerns the surreal story of an 1837 journey through South America by the German painter Johann Moritz Rugendas, an associate of the explorer and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. Designed to fit in a special valise (a carrying case), the works include original prints, maps, artist's books, airmail envelopes, origami toys, posters, a sound recording, and a hand blown glass sculpture, all reflecting the artists' shared affinity for geography, travel literature, and book-making."--MoMA Library website (viewed on October 17, 2017)
