Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: 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.

Using media as diverse as newspaper clippings, used clothes, amateur snapshots, and flickering shadows, Boltanski forges an original universe in which he is frequently the central protagonist. One of Boltanski's favorite themes is his own life story, both actual and reinvented, which he evokes through startling collections of photographs and objects. In other pieces, he assembles seemingly mundane elements to address some of the most fundamental and disturbing contradictions of twentieth century life. In a beautifully written and erudite essay, art historian Lynn Gumpert analyzes and provides a context for these haunting works that have the unsettling ability to be merry and morbid at the same time. With over 150 black-and-white and 50 colour illustrations that span the entire range of Boltanski's production, materials, and influences, this insightful monograph - the first to be published in English - is essential reading for collectors, art historians, students, and anyone interested in contemporary art. / Lynn Gumpert is an art historian, critic, and independent curator based in New York and Paris. She contributes frequently to art periodicals and is the author of numerous exhibition catalogues of contemporary art." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: I. The Impossible Life of Christian Boltanski; II. The Early Work; III. Images Modeles to Compositions; IV. Lessons of Darkness; V. The Disappearing Act of C.B. Size: 4to. Collectible.
