Published on the occasion of Patti Smith's exhibition at the Cartier Foundation in Paris, here are three books devoted to her artistic world, combined in a set entitled Trois.

Charleville encompasses Smith's texts, drawings, and photographs revolving around the figure of Arthur Rimbaud and collected over a period of almost forty years. Photographies showcases her photographs of sculptures taken between 2002 and 2008 and accompanied by her poems. Cahier is a notebook inspired by those belonging to Patti Smith. The first pages are filled with her handwriting and the rest is left to the reader's personal use.

patti's intimate best

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 19, 2008

a beautiful trio of small paperback books done with exquisite taste and a very intimate touch from Patti.
the photos of 'statues' brings the glowing white figures alive and we can see them from her childlike, open perspective.
the 'cahiers' book begins with a few pages of Patti's handwriting leaving the rest blank for us to take the dive into our imagination---a sort of invitation to unite with her, through our own creativity.
beautiful and unique collection.

Sincerely, I hoped an other kind of books, however, it's from Patty, so it's nice although, maybe, a bit overpriced.
