1st | B | Finch created another interesting invisible work titled Buried Treasure, which was designed like a treasure hunt. In Artpace Gallery in San Antonio, he hung up maps of various locations in South Texas. They allegedly indicated spots where gold coins had been buried. However, the maps were written with invisible ink that would only become visible if the paper were heated. Therefore, the visitors would first had to have destroyed the exhibits in the art gallery in order to find the gold. |
