About the Item

César, Experiences Graphiques (César, Graphic Experiences) is a French book by Fredreic Ballester and Jean Ferrero, published in 2015, from the Jean Ferrero Inedits Collection. This is a selection of 150 reproductions of works created by the sculptor César between 1960 and 1998, during trips to Nice to visit his friend, the photographer and collector Jean Ferrero. These graphic creations on paper are based on drawing and assemblages of objects and materials. This book from the Unpublished Works - Jean Ferrero collection, Frédéric Ballester (text), and Jean Ferrero (photographs) comprises more than 150 works by César, small and medium formats, created between 1960 and 1998. This is an atypical creation by a sculptor, a major artist of 20th-century contemporary art, renowned for his compressions. During his travels to Nice, at Jean Ferrero's, this creation was realized in the intimacy of a corner of his studio, in one of his storage rooms. The sculptor engages in graphic experiments as part of an intimate research. This mixed work on paper, centered on drawing, is presented in compositions created from assemblages of various objects and materials found randomly through wild salvage. Assembled with uncertain functionality, the objects, in their diversity, rub shoulders at the heart of the composition with a drawing of a surrealist spirit and skillful dexterity, a sort of self-portrait delivered in derision, which traces the entire mythology of the sculptor. This is a beautiful coffee table art book. About Jean Ferrero Collection: Acquired since the 1960s, the works in the Jean Ferrero collection were created during the second half of the 20th century, around the New Realists and the School of Nice, of which Jean Ferrero was a key figure. The collection primarily focuses on the works of Arman, César, Martial Raysse, Rotella, Ben, Farhi, Malaval, and numerous other artists encountered during these surprising photographic adventures. Features: Title: César, Experiences Graphiques Author: Frédéric Ballester (text), Jean Ferrero (photographs). Hardcover book. Language: French. Numerous full-color illustrations. 175 pages.
