Xavier Barral
Éditions Xavier Barral was founded in Paris in 2002 by Xavier Barral, a photographer and former art director who had set up the visual communication agency Atalante in 1992 with his wife Annette Lucas. Its first book was Word for Word, a co-edition with the Centre Georges Pompidou on the work of the artist Daniel Buren, and its editorial line covers new forms of photography, contemporary art and science. Barral died in February 2019, and his former colleagues took over the house under the name Atelier EXB. Several of its books are made with LE BAL in Paris.
