Includes an essay by Jacques Lassaigne and "Communication sur le mur", a text by Antoni Tàpies, translated from catalan by Edmond Raillard.

This book was published in conjunction with the Antoni Tàpies exhibition held at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris between May 25, 1973 and September 2, 1973.

From the 1940s, Antoni Tàpies (b. 1923, Barcelona; d. 2012, Barcelona) has developed a strong visual language through a wide range of sources that coalesce into a complex fusion of materials, gestures, and symbols. Tàpies’ pictorial language has continued to develop ever since, resulting in a creative and productive body of work in painting, sculpture, and assemblage, that is admired throughout the world.
