Summary:
Cet ouvrage accompagne l’exposition consacrée à Dennis Oppenheim au Musée d’Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne Métropole. Le Musée de Saint-Etienne s’intéresse au travail de cet artiste américain, né en 1938, depuis son ouverture. Alors que l’exposition se préparait en lien direct et régulier avec l’artiste, l’équipe du Musée a brutalement appris sa disparition (janvier 2011). L’artiste avait déjà pensé l’exposition: cinq installations dans quatre lieux différents du Musée. Chaque lieu convoquerait des univers spécifiques: celui du corps et du mimétisme ironique de la vie avec Theme for a Major Hit (1974) et Table Piece (1975); celui de la transformation jusqu’à la disparition dans le couloir (lieu de transition) avec Aging (1974); celui dela sculpture urbaine, décorative et exubérante avec les Splash Buildings (2009), et enfin celui du jeu entre l’architecture etla sculpture avec les installations des Smokestack Buildings with Frozen Fireworks (2009) et Black (2007). Cette publication accompagne l’exposition mais se veut plus qu’un simple catalogue. Elle offre l’occasion de parcourir les trente dernières années de création de ce fabuleux constructeur de formes et de mécanismes, de ce singulier artiste qui échappe à toute forme de classification ou de système. Outre une riche et précieuse iconographie sur son travail (environ 80 illustrations, sélectionnées en collaboration avec l’épouse de l’artiste), le volume présente un texte émouvant du directeur du Musée et ami de l’artiste, Lóránd Hegyi, et un essai du critique Alberto Fiz.

Associated with the Nouveaux Réalistes and Zero, Swiss painter and sculptor Jean Tinguely (1925–91) is best known for his whirring, jangling meta-mechanic sculptures, which take up Dada’s mantle in their use of discarded materials and their wit, humor and irony.

Summary:
Associated with the Nouveaux Réalistes and Zero, Swiss painter and sculptor Jean Tinguely (1925–91) is best known for his whirring, jangling meta-mechanic sculptures, which take up Dada’s mantle in their use of discarded materials and their wit, humor and irony. But this perception of Tinguely as merely a playful kinetic sculptor neglects the more topical, critical, theoretical and interdisciplinary aspects of Tinguely’s work. An extensive monograph on this chronically underpublished artist, Jean Tinguely: Retrospective is the first publication to explore the artist’s work from this perspective.

More than any other Surrealist, Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim embraced, pursued and defined Surrealism's cult of the object, fashioning such classic works as the famous fur cup and the trussed high-heels, infusing everyday domestic objects with a concise eroticism.

Summary:
More than any other Surrealist, Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim embraced, pursued and defined Surrealism's cult of the object, fashioning such classic works as the famous fur cup and the trussed high-heels, infusing everyday domestic objects with a concise eroticism. Yet many facets of her innovative and wide-ranging practice remain unknown to this day, including her extraordinary fountain projects. From the late 1960s until her death, Oppenheim designed and produced models for a series of freewheeling aquatic sculptures. Only three of these have been realized: the "Meret Oppenheim Fountain" in Bern in her native Switzerland, the "Spiral (Nature's Course)" in Paris and the "Hermes Fountain" located in the garden of artist and onetime collaborator Daniel Spoerri in Seggiano, Italy. Fountain Stories is the first to gather all of Oppenheim's fountain projects, including her drawings and unrealized models, into a single definitive publication.

Summary:
Josep Baqué naît le 12 décembre 1895 à Barcelone. Son père travaille dans une fabrique de céramiques. Un de ses oncles, employé dans une entreprise d’estampage de textile, lui fait découvrir les arts décoratifs et l’imagerie populaire dans les magazines qu’il lui procure. Rétif à l’apprentissage scolaire, excentrique et rebelle, Baqué vit de petits boulots sur le port ou le marché. Il quitte sa famille à 17 ans, voyage en France, en Allemagne. En 1928, il rentre à Barcelone. Grâce à l’un de ses oncles il entre dans la Guàrdia Urbana, où il sera employé jusqu’à sa mort en 1967. De 1932 à sa mort, il réalise un corpus de créatures imaginaires. Ses 1500 animaux, phénomènes rares, bêtes jamais vues, monstres et hommes primitifs dévoilent sa fascination pour les morphologies surprenantes.La Collection de l’Art Brut possède dans ses collections douze planches de Josep Baqué.
