Lost and Found: A Photographic Collection Managed by an Art-History Research Institute
Original language description

Having in mind that sorting or uncovering an archive is an open-ended process and the more precisely the archive is catalogued, the more it is tied down, one´s attitude to establishing the IAH collection was far from exempt from the disheartening feeling that something would be lost a priori by any intervention i
