The most comprehensive monograph on the enigmatic French artist –
updated to include brand—new work
Filled with stunning photography, this extraordinary monograph charts a range of JR’s collaborative projects executed across the globe.
Created in close collaboration with the artist, it features chapters on each of JR’s major bodies of work – from
Expo2Rue
, using the street as his canvas to launch his career as an artist, to
The
Chronicles of Miami
, which opened in November 2023. It also includes his collaborations with other artists and institutions such as the New York City Ballet, film director Agnès Varda, and
Time
magazine.
A foreword by Hollywood legend George Lucas, a specially commissioned graphic novel by comic artist Joseph Remnant, an updated survey essay by Nato Thompson, and a short piece by Italian film director Alice Rohrwacher all come together to tell JR’s fascinating story.
