Vera Molnár - 100

PARIS: BERNARD CHAUVEAU EDITION, 2024

I translated from French to English this overview of the work of the pioneer of generative art, Vera Molnár. Published by Bernard Chauveau Edition in conjunction with the Vera Molnár retrospective at the Centre Pompidou.

Publisher description: To mark her centenary, Bernard Chauveau Edition is publishing a landmark monograph on Vera Molnár. VERA MOLNÁR - 100, brings together the most comprehensive collection of texts on the work of this great artist.

This new bilingual publication has been completely redesigned. Enriched with new texts, it includes six writings by the artist, an updated biography of her last ten years of production, and a foreword by Vincent Baby, who is responsible for the publication. To date, these texts constitute the most complete corpus available on Vera Molnár's work.

They are complemented by a new selection of images from various private and public collections, as well as works from the artist's studio. In all, 280 works, characteristic of the artist's different periods of work, can be discovered in the book.

At the same time, the Centre Pompidou is hosting the exhibition Vera Molnár. Parler à l'œil, from 28 February to 26 August 2024.
