Buren creates work "in situ" meaning his pieces are conceived for a specific space. In 1971 Buren was invited to be part of the Sixth International group exhibition show at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY. Painting Sculpture was a twenty metre long by ten metre wide striped cloth intended to hang in the central rotunda of the Guggenheim along with a smaller banner. After some objections that Buren's piece obscured other artists' works, it was removed prior to the exhibition opening and remains in storage.
