JR: Can Art Change the World?

Phaidon's coffee table book "JR: Can Art Change the World?" is the most comprehensive monograph on the enigmatic French artist JR. Filled with stunning photography, this extraordinary art book charts a series of JR's collaborative projects around the world. An inspiration for lovers of socially engaged art from an artist who wants to make a difference in marginalized communities. 

Created in close collaboration with the French artist, it includes chapters on each of JR's major works - from Expo2Rue, in which he used the street as a canvas to launch his career as an artist, to The Chronicles of Miami, which opened in November 2023. Also featured are his collaborations with other artists and institutions such as the New York City Ballet, film director Agnès Varda and Time magazine.

A foreword by Hollywood legend George Lucas, a specially commissioned graphic novel by cartoonist Joseph Remnant, an updated overview essay by Nato Thompson and a short piece by Italian film director Alice Rohrwacher all come together to tell JR's fascinating story.
