Publiée à l'occasion du soixante-cinquième anniversaire de l'artiste, La vie possible de Christian Boltanski, rédigée sous la forme d'une interview (que l'artiste compare à une ""psychanalyse"" ou ""confession"") avec l'historienne de l'art Catherine Grenier, est l'autobiographie orale de Boltanski. Il y raconte son enfance bouleversée par la guerre (""ma mère cacha mon père sous le plancher. Il y resta un an et demi, entre deux étages de la maison. Il sortait de temps en temps""), sa carrière, ses amitiés et son mariage, ses réussites et ses regrets, ses approches de l'art et de l'enseignement, la façon dont il a créé diverses installations, ses relations avec les marchands et le public, et d'autres sujets qui éclairent comme jamais son uvre complexe et énigmatique.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st. 239 pages, [16] pages of plates, illustrations (some colour); 21 cm. First published under title: Vie possible de Christian Boltanski. Translated from the French by Marc Lowenthal. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. *** "Christian Boltanski's votive installations, archives and objects, revolving around the fragile polarities of memory and amnesia, identity and anonymity, have made him one of the world's most renowned contemporary artists. And yet, despite the centrality of biography and testimony to his work, Boltanski's own story is little known and has never been fully told. Published on the occasion of the artist's sixty-fifth birthday, The Possible Life of Christian Boltanski, written in the form of a book-length interview (which the artist likens to a 'psychoanalysis' or 'confession') with the art historian Catherine Grenier, is Boltanski's oral autobiography. In it, he recounts his unusual wartime childhood ('my mother hid my father under the floorboards. He stayed there for a year and a half, between two floors in the house. He'd come out from time to time--I'm living proof of that!'), his career, friendships and marriage, successes and regrets, his approaches to art and teaching, how he created various installations, his relations with dealers and the public, and other matters that illuminate as never before his complex, enigmatic works. Boltanski is refreshingly phlegmatic about the realities of the world (art and otherwise), and he relates his remarkable stories--some enormously amusing, others tragic--with a matter-of-factness and self-deprecating humor that highlight his capacity for humane responsiveness. As both the self-portrait of a major contemporary artist and a frank, fascinating memoir, this is a document of capital importance." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword, by Luc Sante; 1.
