Between 1960 and 1972, the Hungarian-born poet, art critic and curator Imre Pán pursued an intense editorial activity in Paris. Guided by a highly independent spirit, he published almost 150 magazines containing original editions by artists from all plastic horizons: geometric, optical or informal abstractions, post-Surrealist figurations, narratives or those close to the New Realists. The Signe editions (1960-1964), then the Morphèmes editions (1963-1970), which were extended in 1971 and 1972 by the Mini-Musée editions, take the form of notebooks containing a printed text (a study by Imre Pán in most cases, but also texts or poems by artists) and a small-format work on a loose leaf, generally numbered and signed: drawing, etching, collage, watercolour, ink, gouache, silkscreen… These editions are genuine collaborations with artists whose work Pán appreciates and accompanies as closely as possible to the creative process.
