Publisher's Blurb:
This is a great book about the sculptures of Bernar Venet. A Conceptual artist best known for his versatility in multiple mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, as well as stage design and musical composition. Venet became well known in the 1960s for his amorphous installations made by piling up loose gravel, coal, or asphalt; and "industrial paintings" from cardboard reliefs or tar. (Around that time, he decided to drop the last letter from his given name, Bernard.) Shortly after, inspired by the works of Minimalist sculptors like Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, and Carl Andre, Venet began to produce wall-mounted and freestanding metal sculptures. Among the best known are his torch-cut steel plates and beams resembling scribbles, lines, and arcs. Venet says that his sculptures are about "how metal resists. They are a test of strength-a battle between myself and the piece of metal." A great book for artists, students, professors art and lovers.

About Bernar Venet:
Born in les Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in 1941 by the time Venet reached 18 years old he was employed as a stage designer for the Nice City Opera. By 1965, he had the opportunity to exhibit his work in the Paris Biennial. The following year, he created a ballet, ‘Graduation’, to be danced on a vertical plane and began making new work based on the use of mathematical diagrams. Venet continues to cross over into other forms of expression besides visual art throughout his career, inlcuding film, dance, theater, and poetry. He resides in both France and New York City.
For a period of five years, from 1971-1976 he ceased making artwork. However in 1977 Venet reemerged and a series of exhibitions soon followed. In 1989 he was awareded the Grand Prix des Arts de la Ville de Paris. In the mid 1990s Venet was invited to exhibit his ‘Indeterminate Line series’ on the Champ de Mars near the Eiffel Towe. This exhibition kicked off a world tour of Venet’s sculptures and in 1996 he was awarded the honor of “Commandeur dans l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres” by the Minister of Culture in France. Also during this time he continued to explore in both film and in written work.
His work contines to be exhibited throughout the world. Most recently, he exhibited in the 55th Venice Biennial and installed ‘88.5° Arc x 8’, a 27-meter tall sculpture on Gibbs Farm near Auckland, New Zealand. In 2013 the French Postal Service will issue a commemorative stamp of the artist’s 22-meter ‘Vertical Arcs’ that were exhibited at the Château de Versailles in 2011.

Bernar Venet
Bernar Venet creates large-scale site-specific installations, works of avant-garde performance art and other provocative pieces that have earned him a place among France’s most significant Conceptual artists. He is also known for his abstract and figurative drawings, as well as abstract sculptures.
Venet was born in 1941 in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in southern France as Bernard Venet. In 1958, he attended EMAP Villa Thiole in Nice and decided to pursue an artistic career. Venet moved to New York City in 1961 and started to garner recognition for his monochromatic tar paintings and coal sculptures. It was during this period that he dropped the “d” from his first name.
In 1971, Venet took a break from making art and spent some time teaching art theory at the University of Paris. He decided to resume his artistic work in 1976 and showed his work the following year at Kassel, Germany’s “documenta 6,” a contemporary art exhibition that has featured the likes of Berenice Abbott, Diane Arbus, Willem de Kooning and others. Around this time, Venet pivoted to working with wood and created a series of reliefs called “Arcs, Angles and Straight Lines.” The National Endowment of the Arts recognized Venet with a grant in 1979.
The grant kicked off two decades of exhibitions throughout Europe, the United States, Asia and South America. To date, Venet has participated in more than 40 public sculpture exhibitions and created monumental installations in cities around the globe, including Berlin, Denver, Auckland, Geneva, Austin, Tokyo, Vancouver and more.
In 2005, the Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur awarded him with the highest order of merit in France. He was also awarded the International Sculpture Center Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture in 2016. Venet’s works are held in the collections of leading museums around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Centre Pompidou.
Venet lives and works between New York City and Le Muy.
