Introduction by Thomas McEvilley. 11.25"x9.5", 319 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Bernar Venet is one of the best-known and most frequently exhibited French artists in the international public arena. Since his provocative beginnings in the 1960s, with his radical Performance dans le detritus ["Performance in Garbage"] and Tas de charbon ["Pile of Coal"] he has built up a many-faceted oeuvre. His prolific output encompasses monumental sculptures, performances, paintings, installations, and drawings, all underpinned by a rigor and internal coherence that have made him a major figure in conceptual art and contemporary sculpture. This monograph offers a dual approach: a visual exploration designed by the artist and accompanied by his writings, together with a retrospective study by Thierry Lenain, professor at the Université Libre in Brussels. Lenain's authoritative text examines the unusual career of Bernar Venet and analyzes the uniqueness and complexity of his output. It is introduced with a foreword by Thomas McEvilley, professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York, and a specialist on the artist and his work. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
