“[Librería Donceles is] a traveling trove of some 12,000 books in Spanish covering poetry, art, literature, history, biology, anthropology, politics, medicine and children’s literature. The artist aquired this massive collection by trading some of his previous art for boxes of secondhand books in multiples places, including Mexico City, whose historic Donceles Street inspired the exhibit.” Read the complete story here.
