This book brings together over 500 drawings from the Antoine de Galbert Collection, gathered over a period of almost 40 years. Works by 213 artists are presented in the form of an alphabet book, generating chance encounters.

“It is a collection in the form of an abyss of humanity which strikes hard, twists itself, exults ecstatically, messes around, spreads out, exaggerates, contracts. With elegance, clumsiness, naivety and virtuosity, the works on paper speak to a life determined to continue, through laughter or through tears. They reek of a life working death to death.” – Corinne Rondeau

Published for the exhibition Sélection de dessins de la collection Antoine de Galbert, Festival du dessin d’Arles, Église Sainte-Anne, Arles, from April 12 to May 11, 2025.
