Each pair of eyeglasses is unique, an analogy to the ready-mades of Duchamp. The box that contains the book and objects has the appearance of an oversized wooden match box. Bloomberg News published a mostly negative review of Miami's private art collections and Art Basel Miami in general. However, Favre's work was mentioned in a positive light: "To be surprised, you had to venture into the smaller galleries and satellite fairs.
