[MUSÉE DU QUAI BRANLY]. Exhibitions - The invention of the savage. Paris, Actes Sud and Musée du Quai Branly, 2011. In-4 paperback, flap cover illustrated in color. 382 pages, numerous B&W and color illustrations in and out of text. Cover slightly scratched, wrinkles on spine, slight yellowing of margins. A richly illustrated book published to coincide with the exhibition "Exhibitions: l'invention du sauvage", presented at the musée du quai Branly from November 29, 2011 to June 3, 2012. It explores the sometimes tenuous boundaries between "exotics" and "monsters", science and voyeurism, exhibition and spectacle, and questions readers about their own representations in today's world. A fine copy.
