This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition by George Condo 'Life Is Worth Living' held at Almine Rech Paris, from October 14 to November 18, 2017. It includes a selection of pages from the edition Pages de Garde/Endpapers (1998), a collaborative artist's book realized with his friend Bernard Ruiz Picasso. 

George Condo was born in Concord, New Hampshire in 1957. He studied Art History and Music Theory at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell. He has occupied a prominent position in the art world for close to three decades. Condo’s art can be viewed as a multi-layered experience incorporating art historical references ranging from European classicism to American contemporary culture, often combining elements of each to achieve a unique vision informed by all its sources.
