Chose Commune Jeux de mains - Cécile Poimboeuf-Koizumi & Stephen Ellcock

Most artists have, at some point, represented the universal symbol of creation: the hand. Many of them have also chosen the hand as a recurring pattern in their work. This observation inspired Cécile Poimboeuf-Koizumi to gather the works that caught her attention in a book, following no thematic or chronological order. From Pablo Picasso to Helena Almeida, from Louise Bourgeois to Alberto Giacometti, from John Baldessari to Francesca Woodman, and comprising a multitude of treasures from the ancient ages to documents from popular imagery, Jeux de Mains confronts and mixes famous, emerging and anonymous artists from a wide-range of practices. The result is a collection of more than a hundred images compiled intuitively in this book.
