The first true monograph on the work of celebrated French conceptual
artist and sculptor Bernar Venet
Bernar Venet is one of France's most celebrated living artists. Having
emerged from the late 1960s avant-garde scene in New York, Venet
developed a personal aesthetic based on an innovative use of mathematics
and science, where control, chance, and chaos converge to form a fine
equilibrium while investigating their relationship with the environment.
Conversant in many media, Venet is mostly known for his monumental
outdoor sculptures in major cities worldwide and, in fall 19, his Arc
Majeur is due for completion at a site in Belgium - at almost 200 feet
in height (60 metres), Venet's sculpture will be taller than New York's
Statue of Liberty.
