Notes
The museum holds 1600 works from this series and original furniture for storing and displaying miniatures of works.
The Museum of Modern Art’s collection includes the archive of the A—Z (Educational Cabinets) project in both digital and material form. The digital archive consists of 1,600 files with the status of originals. The material archive consists of 1,600 miniatures of works in the form of prints on paper (corresponding to the 1,600 digital originals) and a piece of furniture designed by the artist for storing and displaying these miniatures. The furniture, along with the collection of 1,600 miniatures, constitutes a "material form of the catalog. It can also be described as a machine for creating exhibitions compiled from the A—Z series." An individual miniature does not hold the status of an original; it is merely a part of the archive's materialized catalog. The miniatures are always presented in the presence of the furniture.
