Jeux de mains

Most artists have, at one time or another, depicted the motif of the hand, a symbol absolute of creation. Many also consider the hand as a subject in its own right is a recurring theme. This observation inspired Cécile Poimboeuf-Koizumi — editor and founder of Chose Commune — to bring together the works that caught his eye, without following any thematic or chronological. The selection was made in collaboration with Stephen Ellcock, who has become known in recent years for his performance the art gallery accessible to the general public with its fabulous collection of images that he shares every day on Instagram and Facebook. By Pablo Picasso to Helena Almeida, from Louise Bourgeois to Alberto Giacometti, from John Baldessari to Francesca Woodman, passing through a multitude of treasures of Antiquity and documents of popular imagery, Jeux de mains confronts and mix of famous, emerging and anonymous artists with the most modern artistic practices more diverse. The result is a collection of over a hundred images, compiled from intuitive way in this book which is now in your hands. \n \nNote: This book has been bound in Japanese.
