Statues: in the collections of the Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac Museum.

Dedicated to the most remarkable works of statuary preserved in the collections of the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, the album Statues presents, under the direction of Yves Le Fur, around a hundred works from Africa, Oceania, the Americas and Southeast Asia.
Documented and richly illustrated, the book approaches statuary through its most immediate aspects: line, volume, material, color. The collection includes nearly one hundred works—reproduced full-page and accompanied by short notes—chosen for their formal inventiveness, their diversity of materials, but also of uses, and for their distinctive character.
Following the publication of Chefs-d'œuvre in 2006 and Masques in 2008, the album Statues expands the range of publications dedicated to the museum's collections.
