We invite you behind the scenes of the work we've been conducting since June 2025. In this video, you'll hear from experts, archivists, and our team—all those who patiently discover, organize, and preserve the delicate traces of the artist's life: letters, photographs, and notes. We share how we reassemble history from individual documents.
