Collection: Gérard Collin-Thiébaut

Gérard Collin-Thiébaut (b. 1946) is a French conceptual artist whose practice centres on appropriation, seriality, and the transformation of existing images and printed matter. Working primarily with photography, multiples, and artist books, he has produced work that systematically reframes found imagery — postcards, reproductions, archival photographs — through repetition, displacement, and subtle intervention.

Associated with the French conceptual milieu of the 1970s and 80s, Collin-Thiébaut exhibited widely in France and internationally, with presentations at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and numerous galleries and institutions across Europe. His work engages with questions of authorship, circulation, and the status of the image as both document and object.

The New Rare holds printed matter and exhibition ephemera related to Gérard Collin-Thiébaut, including invitation cards and publications from exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou and other institutions.
