Wim Delvoye at the/au Louvre

This catalogue, which accompanies the exhibition of the same name, portrays an encounter between the Louvres collections and the universe of an inventor in the field of contemporary art. The volume reflects Wim Delvoyes current explorations into nineteenth-century sculpture and computerized reproduction techniques.

From design to the installation of works in situ, this catalogue reveals the Belgian artists stylistic and technical daring.

This richly illustrated catalogue contains an essay by Jean-Pierre Criqui, editor-in-chief of Cahiers du Musée national dart modern, as well as an interview between Wim Delvoye and Marie-Laure Bernadac, chargée de mission for contemporary art at the Musée du Louvre.
