Le Livre takes its name from a book. Adèle Jancovici grew up among the artists her father, the publisher Harry Jancovici, worked with, and Louise Bourgeois was one of them. When Adèle was a child, Louise gave her Les Mésaventures d’un chien by Benjamin Rabier, the copy she had had as a child, and signed it over to her.

Adèle founded Le Livre in New York City in 2011, a few months after Louise’s death. Its projects reached beyond the page: editions conceived as environments, with music, film and scent made for them. Since 2025, Le Livre has been the publishing house of The Dreamers, where exhibitions and books are conceived as one experience.

The most comprehensive monograph on the Argentine artist to date. A critical anthology going back to 1967, an opening essay by Jean de Loisy and a section of Le Parc’s own writings follow his work from the years before Paris through the Surfaces, Contortions, Light, Games and Alchemies. The English edition of a project conceived by Harry Jancovici.

Twenty-two monotype etchings drawn from Canevari’s series of monochrome paintings, each composed from seven shapes in the deepest black. The edition was conceived as an environment: composer Christine Webster wrote a soundtrack for it, and a scent was made to accompany it.

Le Livre’s first book: Maripol’s Polaroids and poems, drawn from the private boxes of her studio. The project grew into an album of songs written on her words by Leonard Lasry, and a book trailer and music video directed by Thalia Mavros.
