About the workDutch glass painting and Peruvian textiles inspired Mauricio Limón to create this couture dress, whose title refers to the address of a stained-glass window in Amsterdam. The exploration of European and indigenous South American culture forms an important part of his artistic practice, as does the combination of art and craftsmanship: for this dress, which is part of a series of four works, he collaborated with the Parisian Atelier Caraco, a collective of costume designers.
