As part of his exhibition at the convent of La Tourette, Giuseppe Penone produced a set of 63 rubbings on canvas on the walls of the convent, in the 63 colours of Le Corbusier's colour chart, revealing, through this gesture, the imprint of the wood present on the surface of the rough concrete walls of decoffrage.
Giuseppe Penone wanted to bring together this collection of rubbings in an artist's book, the most important one he has produced to date. Every detail of this object has been entirely imagined by the artist, with a wood and steel binding, the title stenciled and a specific slipcase. In this work, Giuseppe Penone has revealed the discreet and poetic presence of nature within Le Corbusier's architecture. The edition includes 63 signed and numbered copies. The book will be presented exclusively at the Convent of La Tourette from 11 October.
