«Poptones»: a long-awaited publication!

Despite Francis Baudevin’s indisputable influence on the international art scene, the last monograph devoted to his work dates back to 2009. This publication project, the result of close collaboration with Francis Baudevin himself, aims to fill this gap by revisiting his work and artistic career, with a particular focus on his most recent works.
