CARMEN CALVO (Valencia, 1950). Objects Series. Mixed media on book by María Santoja, on board and methacrylate box. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 22 x 47 x 18 cm (urn). Around 1996, Carmen Calvo recovered many of the objects from a tailor's shop located in the Plaza de la Reina in Valencia. The store belonged to Rafael Molina and his wife María Santonja, whose name can be read on this piece. The artist recovered numerous papers, magazines, patterns, fashion illustrations, correspondence, notes, invoices, in short, everything that had been discarded or forgotten. In this particular case Carmen Calvo presents a draft book of ornaments in which a series of crystals as "fossilized brushstrokes", as the author herself has called her technique. The work links with the image of the order of accumulation associated with the artist. In it, small pieces introduce us to a rhythm of sequences reminiscent of a collector's display case, an influence derived from Calvo's discovery of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian art collections at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The influences, recognized by Calvo, come from the work of Kurt Schwitters or Joseph Cornell, in which the objectual, the accumulation and the rhythmic repetition come together to create a work that is very much archaeological in its creation. Carmen Calvo studied at the Schools of Arts and Crafts and Fine Arts in Valencia, and graduated in advertising in 1970. She would later broaden her training thanks to scholarships from the Ministry of Culture (1980), the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid (1983-85) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for her residence in Paris (1985-92). During these years Calvo began to be recognized, receiving distinctions such as the I LaSalle Seiko Painting Prize of Barcelona (1985), the Alfons Roig of the Diputación Valenciana (1989), a scholarship in the I Biennial Martínez Guerricabeitia of the University of Valencia (1989), and the selection for the XLVII Biennial of Venice (1997). The artist had begun her exhibition activity in 1969, taking part in a group show held at the Círculo Universitario de Valencia. She made her individual debut in 1976 at the Temps gallery in her hometown, and since then she has shown her work individually in various cities in Spain and the United States, as well as in other countries in Europe, America and Africa. Works by Carmen Calvo can currently be seen in art institutions, museums and private collections all over the world, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Marugame Hirai in Kobe, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain in Paris, the IVAM in Valencia, the Chase Manhattan Bank collection in New York, etc.
