The forty years book of galerie Daniel Templon

Created for Galerie Daniel Templon, the most authentic and complete book ever published to “learn” contemporary art

In 1966, the young Daniel Templon is 21 years old when he creates his first gallery, rue Bonaparte in Paris. This anniversary book recounts the first 40 years of gallery Daniel Templon.

Templon_40ansWith over 400 exhibitions, gallery Daniel Templon has become internationally reknowned and counts today some of the major actors of the contemporary artistic scene.

Its history is mixed with the evolution of the art market and the successive apparition of new artistic trends in the second half of the XXth century:

Abstraction, New Realism, Pop art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Support-Surface, the Italian trans-avant-garde, Neo-expressionnism, New Americain Figuration…

A large number of artists who have now entered History, have exhibited rue Beaubourg. Among the most famous, are the French Arman, Ben, Daniel Buren, César, Gérard Garouste, Raymond Hains, Alain Jacquet, Paul Rebeyrolle, François Rouan ou Claude Viallat, and the american stars such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Willem De Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Julian Schnabel, Richard Serra, Frank Stella, or Andy Warhol.

Two texts open these 40 years of exhibitions on paper : a foreword by Ann Hindry, art critic, curator of Modern Art at the Fonds Doisneau of Renault and an interview of Daniel Templon by Bernard Blistène, General Inspector of artistic creation at the Délégation aux Arts plastiques of the Ministère de la culture et de la communication.

Through an exceptionnel ensemble of more than 1 000 reproductions, 500 documents and critical texts extracted
from the gallery’s archive, this book allows to discover the itinerary of a well-known art dealer who has made, very often, visionary choices.

It is the most authentic and complete book ever published to “learn” contemporary art.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized
bookstores with an Art section.

The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including

TirelliMarco Tirelli, born in Rome in 1956, belongs to the New Roman School and develops, since the 70s, a pictorial work in the tradition of the Metaphysics.

Through the window, the artist illuminates a small part of it with a lamp, allowing the eyes to discover it and become a witness of its infinity.

After a first exhibition in Milan in 1978, Marco Tirelli participates to the Venice Biennale in 1981 and 1990.

He presents his works all over the workd, from New York to Paris and Tokyo, and participates to numerous international exhibitions in Sao Paulo, Sidney or Paris. A number of national collections own his work.

A catalogue Dessein d’eau for Saint-Cloud

Communic'Art has created a catalogue for presenting the course of contemporary art created by Agnes Pezeu at Domaine National de Saint Cloud

“Dessein d’eau,” an artistic event based on the work of Agnès Pezeu, will be on view from May 11th to July 15th, 2006 at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud and Ville d’Avray with the sponsorship of Nestlé Waters France.

Dessein_d_eauThe book created by Communic’Art is characterized by a number of texts facing photographs of the installations.

The catalogue presents an analytic and critical text by art historian Francis Parent, a text describing the stroll of the exhibition, and a historical one on the hydraulic network, both written by Leslie Lepers.

The photographs of the works, taken by Claude Gassian, enhance their aesthetical relationship with Nature and History.

This contemporary art stroll was conceived to reveal the large hydraulic network that stands as a historical link between the two locations.

For three centuries, the waters of Ville d’Avray have nourished the spectacle of fountains, sprays and falls that represent one of the main richness of the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud.

The stroll is materialized by a succession of works: monumental canvases are submerged in ponds or supdended in trees; mirrors made in surprising shapes and sizes are positionned on, in, and along the water; and engraved glass blocks are inlayed in the ground.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe

A catalogue Rosson Crow for Nathalie Obadia

Communic'Art has created for galerie Nathalie Obadia the first monograph on Rosson Crow, a young american artist

Galerie Nathalie Obadia publishes the first catalogue on Rosson Crow, a young american artist whose work is already in a number of French and American public and private collections.

CrowThe catalogue gathers a series of twenty works conceived between 2005 and 2006 – ten of which are reproduced on full pages and an introduction by New York art critic and curator Kathy Grayson, in French and English.

Born in 1982 in Dallas, Texas, Rosson Crow currently finishes her art studies at the prestigious Yale University.

She started showing her work in New York in 2004 and in 2005 got a solo exhibition at galerie Nathalie Obadia in Paris. In 2007, the artist is planning to come to live and work in Paris.

Rosson Crow shows a great aesthetic maturity and a very personal dreamlike world. Her large carvases are abstract representations of baroque environments (interior decors or outside landscapes).

Objects, furniture and people take distended shapes and seem to belong to a very strong let alone sometimes disturbing mental sphere, somehow echoing David Lynch’s movies.

Sharp colors, sometimes almost fluorescent, convey a crude and very contemporary tonality in the work. The technique used by the artist, a mixture of oil, paint and enamel, gives materiality, volume and intensity to the paintings. Rosson Crow’s work constantly oscillates between delight and delirium.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe

A catalogue Stella for gallerie Daniel Templon

Galerie Daniel Templon entrusted Communic’Art with the creation of Frank Stella’s exhibition catalogue Die Marquise von O.

The masterly piece by Frank Stella entitled Die Marquise von O. is exhibited for the first time in France at Galerie Daniel Templon. A catalogue conceived by Communic’Art accompanies this historical exhibition.

StellaBorn in 1936 in Massachusetts, Frank Stella was a pioneer in minimalist painting in the 1960s, and in the mid 1970s, took a more baroque, sculptural orientation, full of literary and historical references, such as Heinrich Von Kleist novella.

The originality of the brochure accompanying the exhibition resides in the fact that each of the seven panels composing Stella’s piece is reproduced, along with an image of the fresco in its entirety. Having both presented allows for a detailed as well as a global apprehension of the work.

By shooting the artworks digitally and having the colorimetry done on site, Commmunic’Art ensured an excellent outcome of the intensity of the colors and of the volumes of the elements.

Bilingual and elegant, Frank Stella Die Marquise von O. is essential to comprehend this major piece realized between 1998 and 2000.

This catalogue is distributed through the exclusive network that Communic’Art has established with its partner Catalogallery.com working with 50 bookstores in France with an Art books section, and with Amazon.fr.

A catalogue Langlade for JGM. Galerie

Communic'Art has created the catalogue for French artist Fabrice Langlade’s exhibition “Ahgha” presented in May-June 2006 at JGM. Galerie

Fabrice Langlade, born in 1964 in Reims, France, presents an exhibition of new sculptures at the JGM. gallery from May 5 until June 4, 2006.

LangladeCommunic’Art has created for the exhibition a catalogue that includes all the works exhibited along with a text by Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand and Lóránd Hegyi, the director of the Musée de Saint-Etienne Métropole.

Fabrice Langlade has invented a space of playfulness and trompe-l’œil: he has recreated a garden in which people, animals and flowers wonder around.

The two-sided identical and inverted sculptures are taken from popular and cheap figurines and all together constitute a white world, without soul, like Olympia in Hoffmann tales.

“These gardens are specific places of fantasy, creations of a given reality and transported in a world of unlimited representations. Those strange gardens can be interpreted as places for memories, as the location of an event, such
as spaces of unexpected genesis of creatures that were never seen and are nonetheless familiar,” writes Lóránd Hegyi.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe.
