In 1916, Constantin Brancui moved into one of a cluster of ramshackle buildings at the end of a cul-de-sac known as Impasse Ronsin, in Paris, and remained there, steadily expanding his living and working quarters, until his death in 1957. In the period from the late forties through the mid-sixties, a host of other artists lived and worked here, including William N. Copley, Max Ernst, Yves Klein, Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, Larry Rivers, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Daniel Spoerri, and Jean Tinguely. New interviews, historical documents, and excerpts from the writing of Rivers, Saint-Phalle, and others about their time here - as well as scores of revealing photos, spanning nearly a century of Paris history - are compiled in this monograph, revealing an amazingly vital and long-lived artistic milieu that has hitherto been mostly overlooked. Also documented in plate and installation photography is the gallery's 2016 historical-survey exhibition, for which this book was prepared as an accompaniment.
