In 2024 and 2025, the Espace de l'Art Concret, the Dourven Gallery, the Aline Vidal Gallery, and the Gassendi Museum presented the work of herman de vries, reflecting their long-standing relationships with the artist. Through a selection of exhibition views, documents of in-situ interventions and photographs of the artist in his studios and places of work, this book operates as a succession of visual and geographical wanderings, between exterior and interior, between context and detail, between the world and the work. Five samples (olive leaves, charcoal, paper in the street, earth, seaweed) were taken in the five locations concerned, following the artist's recommendations and included in this publication. de vries (b. 1931 in Alkmaar (NL) lives and works in Eschenau, DE) is a Dutch visual artist. Having started out as an Art Informel painter in the 1950s, his interests shifted in the ensuing years, and since the 70s he became focused on found objects from nature and their artistic-philosophical qualities and implications.
