Quarto, 108 pages, ilustrated throughout with photographs, drawings and sketches. Illustrated wrappers. Wrappers slightly soiled.

- Second edition. One of 1000 copies. “Questa raccolta di interventi, progetti e analisi, vuole essere un momento di sintesi e di bilancio del mio lavoro di ricerca che in questi ultimi anni si è rivolto soprattutto ai problemi legati alla "riappropriazione dell'ambiente". Questo tipo di lavoro pur essendo sempre legato a problemi reali raramente trova una sua collocazione e una sua utilliz zazione secondo una pratica concreta e continua di sperimentazione. La mancanza di strutture culturali e l'esigenza da parte della società burocratica di controllare la cultura attraverso le "separazioni disciplinari", paralizza spesso il mio lavoro, che di volta in volta a secondo delle rare occasioni e delle situazioni in cui riesco a collocarmi, si modifica soprattutto per l'uso differenziato di strumenti.” Includes also a 7 page analysis of a project La Pietra did with Franco Vaccari: Viaggio sul Reno, 1974. euro 120

Henri Creuzevault writes in the introduction of this curious ‘dictionary’:’ Pas plus que l'exposition Table d'orientation pour une sculpture d'aujourd'hui, dont il est le catalogue, ce petit ouvrage ne prétend nullement faire le point défi­nitif sur un art dont il tente seulement une approche poétique. Et de même que notre exposition est une ouverture sur un type pos­sible de lecture de la sculp­ture actuelle, vue sous l'angle de la matière dans laquelle elle est créée, le dic­tionnaire des matériaux de J.-J. Lévêque ne veut-il être que la proposition d'un dictionnaire possible. Im­provisé dans des délais très brefs, pour les besoins créés par les circonstances, mais correspondant à un vieux projet, il est plutôt un dic­tionnaire en devenir.’ Reproductions of works by Appel, Arp, Arman, Bellmer, Calder, César, Dado, Duchamp, Fautrier, G.
