Add to basketWe know of only three texts written by André Cadere, this is the only one that was not yet published. Between May and July 1978, in the weeks preceding his death, he wrote forty-three letters to his friend and gallery owner, Yvon Lambert. These letters - a moving testimony to his thinking, his practice and his work - are published here for the first time in their entirety, and constitute the artist's third and last writing, after Presentation of a work. Use of a work (1974), and History of a work (1982). The edition is composed of a slipcase that gathers the book introduced by Bernard Marcelis - specialist of Cadere, author of his catalogue raisonne? - followed by the 43 letters commented, annotated and illustrated.

A sumptuously produced, slipcased compilation of the ambulatory minimalist's letters to Yvon Lambert
André Cadere (1934–78) strove to remove art from the restrictions of museums and galleries. He is best known for his “Barres de bois rond” (round wooden bars), which he would carry to public spaces and exhibition openings. Between May 19 and July 3, 1978, Cadere wrote 43 letters to his friend, the gallerist Yvon Lambert, when Lambert came to visit the artist at the University Hospital in Paris.
A precious testimony to Cadere’s thought and art, these letters are published here for the first time, in their entirety. This edition consists of a slipcase containing the book, which features an introduction by Bernard Marcelis, a specialist in Cadere and author of his first catalog raisonné, followed by the 43 letters with commentary, annotated by Marcelis and illustrated.
