This publication is not only a presentation of Tevet's artistic achievements, but also a profound study of the role of art in society. Marcel Duchamp's Fountain, a urinal declared a work of art, had an enormous impact on 20th-century art, paving the way for the acceptance of any object as a work. Tevet, inspired by this message, created a series of glass works that reflect his minimalist approach and the search for new forms of expression.

Tevet's works are characterized by the simplicity and austerity of the materials. The artist used glass panes, cardboard and metal clips to create compositions with a subtle but expressive character. His works, although minimalist, hide a wealth of meanings and interpretations. The way the works are hung, the choice of string and nails, all contribute to a unique system that defines his work.

Thierry de Duve, in his texts, analyzes Tevet's work, showing its cultural and philosophical context. The conversation between Tevet and Sarah Watson allows us to better understand the artist's creative process and his inspirations. Extensive illustrative material documents individual works, allowing the reader to thoroughly familiarize themselves with his work. The Museum of Art in Łódź, the publisher of this publication, has ensured high editorial quality, giving the reader a valuable source of knowledge about contemporary art.

This 146-page brochure is a must-have for all lovers of contemporary art and the work of Nahum Tevet. Year of publication 2016.
