Le Défi du Soleil
Conçu il y a près de vingt-cinq ans par Gérard Garouste, Le Défi du soleil, était surtout connu par une petite sculpture en bronze et son énigmatique légende : «Projet pour le jardin du Palais-Royal». C’est en effet pour ce square parisien du XVIIe siècle que l’État avait passé commande à l’artiste d’un ensemble monumental, composé de deux personnages, le Classique et l’Indien, et de trente-deux pieux en bronze. Mais la polémique que suscitèrent les colonnes de Daniel Buren dans la cour du Conseil d’État avait conduit le ministère à suspendre, en 1987, l’installation du Défi du soleil. Après plusieurs tentatives qui se révélèrent infructueuses, l’œuvr...
Critical Laboratory
Writings by Thomas Hirschhorn, collected for the first time, trace the development of the artist's ideas and artistic strategies. For the artist Thomas Hirschhorn, writing is a crucial tool at every stage of his artistic practice. From the first sketch of an idea to appeals to potential collaborators, from detailed documentation of projects to post-disassembly analysis, Hirschhorn's writings mark the trajectories of his work. This volume collects Hirschhorn's widely scattered texts, presenting many in English for the first time. In these writings, Hirschhorn discusses the full range of his art, from works on paper to the massive Presence and Production projects in public spaces. “Statement...
Art and Visual Culture on the French Riviera, 1956-1971
Drawing on the primary sources and little known publications from museum archives, collections in the region, and privately owned archives, Art and Visual Culture on the Riviera, 1956-1971 offers the first in-depth study of the Ecole de Nice. The author shows how artists indigenous to the region challenged the dominance of Paris as the national standard at this moment of French decentralization efforts, and growing internationalism in the arts.

Facing the Other
Under the Second Empire in France, Cordier received several assignments in North Africa and there he completed scientific busts that were just as much works of art. His busts in silver or gilt bronze, onyx and coloured marble are delicate gems, reflecting Cordier's interest in other civilizations, most notably African. The Musee d'Orsay in Paris has organized an unprecedented international exhibition of Cordier's work, highlighting seventy-five sculptures and approximately forty ethnographic photographs. Filled with several texts on his life and work compiled by the exhibition's organizers, this book was created and based on the research by Jeanine Durand-Revillon for the Ecole du Louvre in 1980.

The Tribe
The Tribe, the companion volume to Ralph Rumney's excellent The Consul is another fascinating slice of history concerning the ultra avant-garde's favourite sect. Jean-Michel Mension was a member of the Situationist International's precursor, the less political and more art focussed Lettrist International (which was founded in 1945 in Paris by the Romanian Jean-Isidore Isou as a reaction to Andre Breton's dictatorial control of the surrealist movement). Surrealism had become something of a cult of personality surrounding Breton and had drifted from its dada origins into mysticism. In 1956 at Alba in Italy a group of lettrists took an active part at the First World Congress of Liberated Artist...
