The book “Rétrospective” pays tribute to Claude Viallat, a key figure in 20th-century and contemporary art, with a retrospective exhibition in 2014 at the Musée Fabre in Montpellier.
Comprising around a hundred works, this exhibition traces Claude Viallat's career. It explores all the techniques and materials he has used, from preparatory drawings to his most monumental works. It also includes a selection of works from the collection of his wife, Henriette Viallat, which she began building up from his earliest works...
Fifty years after the invention of his form in 1966, and thirty years after the major exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, the idea of a retrospective took shape through ongoing and fruitful dialogue with the artist.
