Discover Les Fantômes du Louvre Enki Bilal’s limited and numbered deluxe edition, published by Futuropolis in 2012. This exceptional large-format book, measuring 15.94 x 12.79 inches (32.5 × 40.5 cm) and containing 144 pages in French (ISBN 9782754808989), is available new and shrink-wrapped. Strictly limited to 700 copies, it includes a previously unpublished color illustration exclusive to this numbered edition.
In the iconic 32 × 40 cm format, Enki Bilal presents twenty-two imaginary and tragic portraits that haunt the halls of the Louvre Museum.
Concept: For this project (which led to an exhibition at the Louvre Museum), Enki Bilal selected and photographed various works from the museum, upon which he painted “ghostly” silhouettes—22 in total. He devised a backstory for each of these figures: a tragic fate and a connection—poetic or mysterious—to a specific artwork or gallery within the museum. This book serves as an extension of the eponymous exhibition held at the Louvre between December 2012 and March 2013, offering a unique experience.
A rare collector’s item, somewhere between an auteur comic strip, contemporary art and a tribute to the world’s greatest museum.
