Christo and Jeanne-Claude: through rarely seen early works, studies, drawings, and collages, the book sheds light on the trailblazing character of the Paris years, as well as on their great significance to the couple's artistic development afterward.

Around the images are hand-drawn, quasi-calligraphic marks (in black only), curved, giving the impression of an “organic” form in the manner of ornate, rococo frames. Fir...

With his posters, illustrations, television animations and his many exhibitions the world over, Jean-Michel Folon (1934-2005) marked the global imaginary during the last third of the 20th century. He was a humanist who left behind him a figurative and poetic body of that, anchored in traditional techniques, were quite atypical in the artistic landscape of his era.

Sculpture knocked like a challenge that Folon threw himself into headlong in the second part of his career. Throughout the 1990s, ...
