FABRO, LUCIANO. Inhabiting
Autonomy. Ed. by Bernhard
Rüdiger. 416 S. mit 200 meist farb.

brosch. – Text in engl. & franz.
Sprache.
Throughout his career as an artist
and teacher, Luciano Fabro
brought the question of autonomy
to life in his own way. The historical
situation, which he was constantly
re-evaluating, and to which
his own work responded, placed
him at the crossroads between the
commitment of the avant-gardes
and an ethical questioning of the
119
place of the artist in society. This
book is the result of a seminar
held by the research group Art
contemporain et temps de l’histoire
(Acth) at the École des
beaux-arts de Lyon and at the
Centre d’histoire et de théorie
des arts of the EHESS in Paris.
