This book, created as a tribute to Jacques Villeglé’s boundless curiosity, delves into his connection with the world of entertainment—cinema, dance, theater, and music—from the 1950s until the end of his career. It features texts by Julie Chaizemartin, Emma Lavigne, and Jeff Mills. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Galerie Vallois in Paris in 2024, it celebrates Villeglé’s unique artistic vision. A member of the New Realists and a close associate of Raymond Hains, Jacques Villeglé (1926-2022) was a pioneering figure in urban art. He is best known as a "collector" of torn and weathered posters, which he reassembled into new forms, transforming these fragments of the dominant culture into abstract typographic compositions.
