Daniel Buren

Daniel Buren is a French artist whose practice has centred on the use of a single visual motif — alternating stripes of 8.7 cm — deployed across an expanding range of contexts: galleries, museums, public spaces, and printed matter. Since the late 1960s, Buren has used this device to interrogate the conditions of display, the institutional frame, and the relationship between artwork and site.

Publications collected here document Buren's practice and its reception, including catalogues, artist publications, and printed matter through which his work entered institutional and private circulation.
