A reference book on artist Olga de Amaral. Gathering around a hundred works as well as many archive photographs, it retraces the evolution of her practice over time and the major role she played in the revolution of Fiber Art. >Amaral's hand-woven works combine natural fibers, paint, plaster, and precious metals, and reflect her interest in architecture and geometry. While her early works featured geometric motifs and bright colors, those of the 1970s marked the start of her research on three-dimensionality with works that free themselves from the wall to invade space. She then returned to a more human and intimate scale, with colors inspired by Colombian landscapes.From October 2024 to March 2025, the Fondation Cartier unveils the full richness and power of Amaral's art in her first major retrospective in Europe. Bringing together historical works never presented outside Colombia, as well as contemporary pieces with vibrant shapes and colors, the exhibition highlights the artist's career-long experimentation with materials, scale, and three-dimensionality.Contributions from Ann Coxon, Curator of International Art at Tate Modern and textile art specialist, María Wills Londoño, curator at the Banco de la República, Bogotá, and Marie Perennès, curator of the exhibition, tell the story of Olga de Amaral, contextualize her work within the local and international textile art scene, and analyze the themes that run through her art.

Damien Hirst's new series of paintings, published here for the very first time to accompany their exhibition at the Fondation Carter pour l'art contemporain, Paris. In Spring 2021 the Fondation Cartier pour l¿art contemporain will open an exhibition dedicated to Damien Hirst and his latest painting series, Cherry Blossoms. The series is a continuation of Hirst¿s career-long exploration into the power of painting and the relationship between artist and the canvas, demonstrated in the Spot Paintings (1986¿2011), Visual Candy (1993¿1995), Colour Space Paintings (2016), and Veil Paintings (2017). Both an appropriation and a tribute to the pictorial art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this new series marks the return of the artist in his own studio. Using a conceptual approach, Damien Hirst explores in Cherry Blossoms the questions of beauty, colour, and excess in painting. < Includes texts by Emanuele Coccia (Italian philosopher), Philippe Costamagna (French art historian), Michio Hayashi (Japanese art historian), Gilda Williams (American art historian), and an anthology of literary texts brought together by Alberto Manguel.

Published to accompany Claudia Andujar, The Yanomami Struggle at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, the most ambitious exhibition ever devoted to the Brazilian photographer who since the 1970s has dedicated her life to photography and the protection of the Yanomami Indians, one of the largest Amerindian communities in the Brazilian Amazon. Conceived by Thyago Nogueira for the Instituto Moreira Salles in Brazil, Claudia Andujar, The Yanomami Struggle features over 200 black-and-white and colour photographs, many of which have never been shown before, as well as an audiovisual installation, historical documents and drawings produced by Yanomami artists. The fruit of several years' research into the photographer's archives, the exhibition reflects the two inseparable aspects of her approach: one aesthetic, the other political.

Communes is a photographic essay by Raymond Depardon exploring the villages of France¿s Mediterranean inland region. Its 80 black-and-white photographs were taken by Depardon in the summer of 2020, after France¿s first lockdown, and cover the departments of Aveyron, Lozère, Gard and Hérault. These villages are timeless havens of peace, where tranquility and cool prevail. Witnesses to history, they were threatened by the `Nant concession¿, a shale gas extraction project, but the inhabitants protested and the project was abandoned in 2015. The villages, with their cobbled streets, old houses with jagged facades and rustic construction, are once again thriving. The photographs are accompanied by a text by Salomé Berlioux, president of the association Chemins d¿Avenirs, an association that accompanies and promotes thousands of young people from isolated areas. Berlioux is also the author of Les Invisibles de la République. Comment sauver la jeunesse de la France périphérique? (Robert Laffont, 2019) and Nos campagnes suspendes. La France périphérique face à la crise (Editions de l'Observatoire, 2020).

This book accompanies Claudia Andujar's unprecedented retrospective at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain.

Filmmaker, photographer and international journalist, Raymond Depardon holds a unique place in the field of the contemporary image. In 1967, he co-founded the Gamma Agency, and in 1978, he joined the Magnum Agency for whom he would carry out reports all over the world up until the beginning of the 1980s. While continuing to practise photography on a daily basis, he later turned his attention to documentary film, making use of the direct cinema genre. Raymond Depardon puts the fixed and moving image at the service of a simple and singular narrative. From his first pictures taken in the early 1960s to his latest trips to Africa and South America, as well as voyages to Vietnam, Beirut and Glasgow, Raymond Depardon¿s work is characterized by its fundamentally human approach. In 2010, he presented the exhibition ¿La France de Raymond Depardon¿ at the BnF Fran¿s-Mitterrand in Paris and, in 2013, the exhibition ¿Un moment si doux¿, at the Grand Palais in Paris, bringing together fifty years of his color photography. With his wife Claudine Nougaret, Raymond Depardon has produced numerous films: Urgences (1988), La Captive du d¿rt (1990), D¿ts flagrants (1994), Paris (1998), 10e chambre, instants d¿audiences (2004), La Vie Moderne (2008), Journal de France (2012), and Les Habitants (2016).
