Marcel Dzama: Aux Mille Tours

Marcel Dzama's work recreates a fantastic and anachronistic world of cowboys and cosmonauts, dandies and brown bears, anthropomorphic trees and femme fatales, all in a style close to the kind of illustration found in the 1950s. His recent work focuses on narratives in which strange anecdotes yield to stories drawn from real life, in which nightmarish anxiety, violence and sex meet in an almost playful atmosphere. This amply illustrated publication documents one of the largest exhibitions of Dzama's work to date and provides a critical overview of the most recent developments in his art practice including dioramas, sculptures, assemblages, paintings, videos, collages and drawings.
