Angles
, the
Arcs
, and the
Indeterminate Lines
... To which is added the work of the reliefs, the paintings, the drawings and the engravings.
From the 1960s in New York, he rubbed shoulders with the new wave of giants - Robert Rauschenberg, Donald Judd, Robert Morris and Arman... In turn, he exhibited his works of conceptual art at Leo Castelli and Paula Cooper alongside Sol Hewitt, then Daniel Buren a year later at the New York Cultural Center.
After having exhibited all over the world, the visual artist created the Venet Foundation in Le Muy, in the Var, in 2014.
