The catalogue of In Praise of Doubt is the first in a series accompanying the exhibitions of the Francois Pinault Foundation at Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana. For this publication, each of the living artists represented in the exhibition was asked to give an interview, leaving to each the freedom to respond as they felt appropriate. The artists could choose the personality, art critic, curator, historian or journalist whom he or she wished to be interviewed by, and each was free to impose his or her rules: be laconic or eloquent, reproduce an interview, reformulate earlier comments, play the game of the Proust Questionnaire. In this way, In Praise of Doubt has made it possible to represent 14 unique interviews with internationally renowned artists. The volume includes 75 stunning colour photographs of objects displayed at the exhibition, including the work of Jeff Koons, Bruce Nauman and Maurizio Cattelan. ILLUSTRATIONS: 65 colour
