On October 27, 1960, art critic Pierre Restany named a group of Paris-based artists the "Nouveaux Realistes" in a founding declaration that stated, The New Realists recognize their collective singularity. This book offers an account of their work and challenges the ideas of Restany, who mandated a "direct appropriation of the real".
