About This Item
Neuchâtel.: Editions Média., 1996. Original grey cloth-backed boards.. (50.6 x 33.3 cm).. pp. (38). With 8 original hors-texte colour linocuts by Mosset. Some degree of offsetting to facing pages throughout. Artist’s book with the eight original linocuts accompanied by poetry by Jean-Christophe Bailly. Published in an edition of 50 copies, numbered, dated and signed in pencil by Mosset on the final blank leaf, and further inscribed by Bailly “pour savoir-vivre!”. Olivier Mosset’s work is rooted in conceptual abstraction. In the 1960s he was a member of the BMPT collective along with Daniel Buren, Michel Parmentier, and Niele Toroni. The group suppressed subjectivity and expressiveness favouring instead practical systems like the utilisation of neutral, repetitive patterns. Pinnacle to the group’s philosophy were the 200 or more identical oil paintings that Mosset produced between 1966 and 1974, of a small black circle at the centre of a square white canvas. Here in this artist’s book Mosset uses the repeating octagonal shape, but with each linocut printed in a different colour.
