Format: 125 x 210 mm (French) Note: Julio Le Parc (b. 1928 in Mendoza, Argentina, lives and works in Cachan) is one of the most important geometric and kinetic artists of the 1960s. A founding member of the GRAV (Groupe de recherche d'art visuel) created in Paris in 1960, he has worked for over fifty years on movement, light, optics and the relationship between the work and its viewer. In 1966, he was awarded the Grand Prix International de Peinture at the Venice Biennale. In 1972, he dared to refuse a retrospective at the Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris. The same year, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf gave him a major solo exhibition. Since then, he has exhibited at Cuba's Maison des Amérique, the Mirò Foundation in Barcelona, the National Art Institute in Rome, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Daros Latinamerica in Rio de Janeiro, the Whitney Museum in New York, the Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, the MOCA in Los Angeles, the Centre Pompidou-Metz and, in 2013, the Palais de Tokyo. In this book, Julio Le Parc scratches at the art world by putting himself in the shoes of imaginary commentators: critic, dealer, failed artist... The book is accompanied by an original, one-of-a-kind work of art, silkscreened or pigment-printed.
