Author: Dubuffet, JeanJean Dubuffet and the City 1943-1984: People, Place and Urban Space examines the role of the city in the formation of Dubuffet's work: the city as a material, as a source and as a vehicle for ideas. Sophie Berrebi analyses works in which Dubuffet depicts city dwellers, sites and urban spaces, and discusses the artist's architectural projects from the 1960s and '70s against the background of heated debates in the field of post-war urbanism. Accompanying and extending an exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Zurich, this volume includes full-colour reproductions of Dubuffet's artworks, as well as little-known archival material from the Fondation Dubuffet and several texts by the artist, translated here in English for the first time.ISBN 9783906915111.
