First published in February 1968 by the Claude Givaudan gallery, The Abolition of Art is one of the most emblematic texts among those prefiguring May 68, but also in Alain Jouffroy's reflection on art. Accompanied here, and for the first time, by the eponymous film made in the wake, and by two texts which redistribute the issues ("What to do with art?, written in August 1968, and "Will the future abolish art?, written in 1970); The propositions of The Abolition of Art are now presented as an autonomous whole, the inaugural scope of which was given by Alain Jouffroy in these terms: "It is at the moment when, in front of a work, we forget that it is art, at the moment when the method of execution arouses in the spectator a method of meditation - a series of acts organized by thought - that we are truly confronted with ourselves, with fire. It is this shift that I call The Abolition of Art (...). This edition, accompanied by plans of Daniel Pommereulle's "Emergency Room" and the DVD of the film, is prefaced by Pablo Durán.
