PHAIDON - Art & design - at YOOX.COM

- CHRISTIAN BOLTANSKI - Didier Semin, Tamar Garb, Donald Kuspit, Georges Perec - Phaidon - - Christian Boltanski, one of the most important French contemporary artists, evades definition - is he an alchemist, philosopher, potential suicide, clown or Rasputin? His work has ranged from the creation of an ironic museum of the self to sensitive portrayals of ordinary people: a collection of school portraits from a secondary class many years ago, or snapshots of an unspecified family. Boltanski gathers old photos, clothes or personal objects which are presented as archival artefacts tracing individual lives, dramatized through his deployment of darkness and light. - - 160 pages - 120 colour illustrations - Paperback - English
