Description: "Known as "The Detective of Miniatures", Carlos Monsiváis conformed a collection of more than 1300 of these small works, of which 167 were presented for the first time in the exhibition. To this exhibition that had as its axis the concept of the game, works of different formats were added: puppets, children's pocket books and mobile scenes for string puppets. All of them exhibited not as "souvenirs" or as curious objects, but as authentic artistic expressions made by creators who own an evident style of their own. " (HKB Translation) --Verso Cover.
