Hidden Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e (Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, Florence, September-November 2025). With an introduction by Bernard Blistène, honorary director of the Centre Pompidou and advocate of the acquisition of twelve of Kopac's works into the museum's collection, the book explores a multifaceted artist, deeply connected to Surrealism, Informal Art, and Art Brut. A key collaborator of Jean Dubuffet and the first curator of the \"Collection de l'Art Brut\", he played a fundamental part in its promotion and configuration. His magical, totemic universe captivated the Surrealists and led to a collaboration with André Breton. At the same time, critic Michel Tapié included him in \u003ci\u003eUn Art Autre\u003c\/i\u003e (1952), recognizing his originality within the Informal Art movement. He used painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, collage, and art books to explore materiality, intertwining reality and fantasy. The volume features contributions by leading international scholars and an extensive iconographic repertoire, including previously unpublished works and archive documents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Text in English, French and Italian.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBernard Blistène\u003c\/b\u003e has been Honorary Director of the Centre Pompidou since 2021 and headed the institution from 2013 to 2021.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatharine Conley\u003c\/b\u003e is Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the College of William \u0026amp; Mary and Edward Tuck Professor of French and Comparative Literature, Emerita, at Dartmouth College. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn art historian specializing in Art Brut, \u003cb\u003eDéborah Lehot-Couette\u003c\/b\u003e is the Scientific and Collections Director at the Dubuffet Foundation.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFabrice Flahutez\u003c\/b\u003e is a full professor at the Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Etienne and member of the Institut Universitaire de France. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKent Minturn\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in Columbia University's Department of Art History and Archaeology and is an art historian, critic, translator and theorist of modern and contemporary art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoberta Trapani\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian of contemporary art with a Ph.D. awarded by Paris Nanterre and Palermo Universities in an international joint supervision programme.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 11.3 x 9.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 17, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44176876175495,"sku":"9788874394135","price":58.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/McgYjJZfZS9788874394135.webp?v=1773258624","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/slavko-kopac-hidden-treasure-informal-art-surrealism-art-brut-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
