A seminal figure of post-war conceptual practice, Daniel Buren has long explored how context shapes the meaning of art. Since the late 1960s, his work has challenged traditional modes of display and perception.
Affichages sauvages marks a pivotal moment in his early practice, when he began producing unauthorized interventions across the streets of Paris. This work is a first edition print produced in Paris in 1972, issued in an edition of 1000 copies. Using his now-iconic vertical stripe motif, Buren pasted printed works onto urban surfaces—bypassing institutions and inserting art into everyday life.
Both formally rigorous and conceptually disruptive, Affichages sauvages remains a foundational gesture of institutional critique—proposing that art can circulate freely, engaging directly with its environment and its viewers.
The artwork is sold unframed. Framed images are shown for presentation and installation reference only.
