The window as motif in the drawings and paintings of Ellsworth Kelly This monograph was copublished by Cahiers d'Art and Centre Pompidou on the occasion of the 2019 exhibition Ellsworth Kelly: Windows, which brought together, for the first time, the six Windows made by Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015) in France between 1949 and 1950. Kelly's years in France were a period of perpetual invention, and are fundamental to an understanding of his work. As he wrote in 1969, "After constructing Window with two canvases and a wood frame, I realized that ... painting as I had known it was finished for me." This signal moment is evoked through more than 80 works, paintings, drawings, sketches and photographs, along with two beautiful essays by Yve-Alain Bois and Jean-Pierre Criqui. Ellsworth Kelly is one of the most important abstract artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as a key figure in the rebirth of Cahiers d'Art: the publishing house was reopened in 2012 with an exhibition of Kelly's work in its legendary gallery, and, in collaboration with Yve-Alain Bois and the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation, it published the first volume of Kelly's Catalogue Raisonn of Paintings, Reliefs, and Sculpture, 1940-1953.

Blending Fluxus, Pop, and performance art, Marclay has reinvented the relationship between art and sound over four decades. This volume, published for a major survey at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, delves into his influential multimedia art. From early performances in the 1970s to iconic works like Guitar Drag (2000) and large-scale video installations such as All Together (2018), Marclay has explored various mediums—photography, modified instruments, videos, prints, paintings, objects, and graphic scores—through sampling, shuffling, and montage. Designed by Zak Group and richly illustrated, the publication includes essays by Polly Barton, Nathalie Quintane, Michel Gauthier, Marcella Lista, and Catherine de Smet. It features a conversation between Marclay and curator Jean-Pierre Criqui, an anthology of texts from diverse writers and art historians, and a comprehensive chronology by Annalisa Rimmaudo. Christian Marclay, born in 1955 in California and raised in Geneva, studied sculpture at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. He received the Golden Lion award at the 54th Venice Biennale for his video The Clock and has exhibited at notable institutions, including the Hirshhorn Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Whitney Museum in New York.
