LE MULTIPLE D'ARTISTE. UNE CONTRIBUTION AU DÉBAT SUR LA DÉMOCRATISATION DE L'ART

The article deals with a specific strategy of distributing artefacts via multiplied objects. This artistic standpoint led to the birth of an ideology of multiples in the 1960s, seeking ways of bringing art to most of the people, and of wiping out differences between artistic originals and industrial products. Although weakened in the following decades, this mode of artistic perception took a second breath in connection with the expansion of the mass media from the mid-1980s onwards.
