Abstract: Catherine Francblin discusses the group of artists brought together in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany, in the movement that he called "Nouveau Réalisme." She discusses Restany's ideas and the contributions of each of the main figures in the movement, proposing a new reading of this ephemeral group. Her analysis both furthers the understanding of this important historical moment and highlights its relevance to the artistic context of today.
