At the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, in 1989, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in 1991, paintings wereout on temporary loan. I saked the curators, guards, and other staff members to describe and draw the works that once filled the empty spaces. I replaced the missing works with those memories.

In 1990, paintings and objects were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. After the theft, the spaces that they occupied remained empty. I photographed these spaces and I asked the curators, guards, and other staff members to describe their recollection of the missing work. In 1994, the empty frames were hung up back in place, emphasizing their absence. I asked the staff members and the visitors to tell me what they saw within these frames.
