This is the first substantial English-language overview on the legendary '60s Fluxus artist and poet Robert Filliou (1926-87). With illustrations of nearly 192 works, it also features the transcript of an extensive conversation between Filliou and the Brussels-based art critic Irmeline Lebeer, recorded on seven cassette tapes in August 1976 in Flayosc in southern France. This conversation is structured as an abécédaire and touches on a variety of topics pertaining to Filliou's art and thinking, from amitié (friendship) to zen. This conversation was intended to form the backbone of an extensive monograph but was never published--until now. Robert Filliou: The Secret of Permanent Creationilluminates the mind and the practice of this massively underpublished artist, whose influence on subsequent generations has been both clandestine and colossal.

Portrait d'un artiste-inventeur, qui produisit une oeuvre ambitionnant d'abolir les frontières entre l'art et la vie. R. Filliou (1926-1987) développa une activité de poète, considérant que le langage et les mots constituent le matériau premier de l'artiste. Il créa dans les années 1960 une boutique de création permanente produisant objets et poésies visuelles.
This book is about the collaborative work by four artists associated with the FLUXUS and Nouveau Réalisme movements.
This groundbreaking examination of the intersection between artistic practice and capitalism in the 1960s explores art's capacity to reflect on and reimagine economic systems and our place within them.
The original edition of this ambitious reference was published in hardcover in 1998, in two oversize volumes (10x13"). This edition combines the two volumes into one; it's paperbound ("flexi-cover"--the paper has a plastic coating), smaller (8x10", and affordable for art book buyers with shallower pockets--none of whom should pass it by. The scope is encyclopedic: half the work (originally the first volume) is devoted to painting; the other half to sculpture, new media, and photography. Chapters are arranged thematically, and each page displays several examples (in color) of work under discussion. The final section, a lexicon of artists, includes a small bandw photo of each artist, as well as biographical information and details of work, writings, and exhibitions. Ruhrberg and the three other authors are veteran art historians, curators, and writers, as is editor Walther. c. Book News Inc.
