At the age of 81, Yvon Lambert is one of the most influential
collectors of our time. He was only 14 years old when he used his
pocket money to buy his first work of art. In 1966, he opened his
own gallery in Paris, which soon became a top venue for
contemporary art. It was Lambert who introduced the minimal art,
land art and conceptual art movements to a wider European audience
at a time when they were still relatively new. Besides his work as
an art dealer, Lambert has spent the past fifty years creating one
of the most prominent collections of contemporary art. In 2011, he
donated more than 600 of his works to the French state, which are
now on display in a specially dedicated museum in Avignon. In the
context of the art project Skulptur Projekte Munster 2017, the
Pablo Picasso Art Museum in Munster brings the Lambert Collection
to Germany for the first time. In particular, the exhibition
features works of artists who have been part of the Skulptur
Projekte programme since its early years. Some of their works
include installations that still exist in the city today.
The first complete account in English of the evolution of
'pataphysics from its French origins, with explications of key
ideas and excerpts from primary sources, presented in reverse
chronological order. Of all the French cultural exports over the
last 150 years or so, 'pataphysics-the science of imaginary
solutions and the laws governing exceptions-has proven to be one of
the most durable. Originating in the wild imagination of French
poet and playwright Alfred Jarry and his schoolmates, resisting
clear definition, purposefully useless, and almost impossible to
understand, 'pataphysics nevertheless lies around the roots of
Absurdism, Dada, futurism, surrealism, situationism, and other key
cultural developments of the twentieth century. In this account of
the evolution and influence of 'pataphysics, Andrew Hugill offers
an informed exposition of a rich and difficult territory, staying
aloft on a tightrope stretched between the twin dangers of
oversimplifying a serious subject and taking a joke too seriously.
Drawing on more than twenty-five years' research, Hugill maps the
'pataphysical presence (partly conscious and acknowledged but
largely unconscious and unacknowledged) in literature, theater,
music, the visual arts, and the culture at large, and even detects
'pataphysical influence in the social sciences and the sciences. He
offers many substantial excerpts (in English translation) from
primary sources, intercalated with a thorough explication of key
themes and events of 'pataphysical history. In a Jarryesque touch,
he provides these in reverse chronological order, beginning with a
survey of 'pataphysics in the digital age and working backward to
Jarry and beyond. He looks specifically at the work of Jean
Baudrillard, Georges Perec, Italo Calvino, J. G. Ballard, Asger
Jorn, Gilles Deleuze, Roger Shattuck, Jacques Prevert, Antonin
Artaud, Rene Clair, the Marx Brothers, Joan Miro, Max Ernst, Marcel
Duchamp, James Joyce, Flann O'Brien, Raymond Roussel, Jean-Pierre
Brisset, and many others.
