De ville en ville, l'art au présent examines the place of public art in contemporary French urban life, with particular attention to the late twentieth century. The book considers how artworks installed in streets, squares, civic buildings, and other shared environments can alter the experience of the city and invite new forms of public engagement. By connecting artistic practice with questions of urban planning, cultural policy, and civic identity, it offers a focused study of how public commissions and site-based works participate in debates about modernization, memory, and the social role of art. Written in French, it is a useful reference for readers interested in public art, contemporary art history, and the cultural transformation of French cities.
