as a Work of Art

By Dani Issler

“Discover Daniel Buren in Graça” is an Airbnb Experience™, offering a guided walking tour (current rate: €25) in the colorful Lisbon neighborhood of Graça, visiting five historical sites in which celebrated French artist Daniel Buren (b. 1938) posted his impromptu creations, “Affichages Sauvages,” in 1980.

Valentim's Airbnb buffet at his home, with Buren's original stripes from his 1980 show, purchased directly from the gallerist by Valentim, alongside a collector's edition box of the iconic French cheese, <em>La vache qui rit</em>, Buren designed in 2019. Courtesy the artist.
