Imagine for a minute being in Paris in 1925 when Picasso, Miro and Dalí were not known; 100 years ago. Each returned to their individual home, only after exploring the avant-garde in Paris in the 1920’s. History is a repetition of moments in time. You are being given the opportunity to collect in your hands the future of the next global art revolution. Take the time to explore the opportunity being presented to you. We have curated videos of Visual Poetry being burned in LA, Drowned in Malibu and at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
