Contemporary Artists Respond to Samuel Beckett / Les artistes contemporains répondent à Samuel Beckett: Six Essays / Six essais


Overview

The essays gathered here explore Samuel Beckett’s foundational legacy in contemporary art since the expansion of its field in the 1960s. They examine artworks, creative practices, and artists’ discourses deeply inspired by Beckett while highlighting varied responses to his work and introducing lesser-known artistic scenes. Demonstrating contemporary artist‘s ongoing interest in Beckett’s multidimensional oeuvre, the collection illuminates the relationships between contemporary art and literature.
