First monograph.
This richly illustrated book aims to show the breadth of the French artist's work over the last fifteen years, by offering an analysis of Frédérique Loutz's drawn work. Organized along a chronological line and giving pride of place to the language and words of the artist, the publication is an opportunity to meet Frédérique Loutz, whose identity issues have structured her work since the beginning.
Born in 1974 near a border that has been redrawn many times, Frédérique Loutz
