Souvenir Map

Installation Information

In Souvenir Map, Willem used the many souvenir glasses that are part of his collection of tourist art and placed them in their right location on the map. In the 1950's and 1960's, families would take summer car trips to national parks, the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean beaches or big cities like New York or Chicago and bring back souvenirs. Willem visits a lot of second hand stores and collects these glasses wherever he can find them.
