Shipping crate for artworks (to Moscow). La Californie, Cannes 1959.
A large wooden shipping crate, marked 'TABLEAUX' (paintings) and destined for Moscow, dominates the entryway of the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. A Cyrillic label is addressed to the USSR Embassy, while stacks of ceramic plates rest on top. The grand setting is detailed by the patterned tile floor, an ornate curving staircase, and a sinuously carved door standing slightly ajar, capturing the moment before the artworks are dispatched.
