The publishing house Les Cahiers Intempestifs specializes in contemporary art. Les Cahiers Intempestifs has always been a place where different ideas do more than just meet, they come at each other from different directions and confront each other. The book collections published by Les Cahiers Intempestifs aim to give each of their author-creators a generous amount of space in which to defend their ideas and to create their book as a work of art in itself.

For more than a decade, Les Cahiers Intempestifs has built up a special kind of complicity with international artists such as David Tremlett, Claudio Parmiggiani, Nils-Udo, Jochen Gerz, Marie Ange Guilleminot, Sophie Ristelhuber, Sarkis, Roman Opalka, Jean-Michel Othoniel, Peter Greenaway, Ludger Gerdes, Jimmie Durham, Ettore Spalletti, Vettor Pisani, Claude Viallat and many others… This has brought them notable recognition in cultural circles in France and elsewhere.

The Les Cahiers Intempestifs catalogue is distributed through bookshops by the Vilo group, and also attracts regular purchases from prestigious institutions such as the Kandinsky Library (MNAM, Paris), Art Bibliographies (Oxford), the Bibliothèque d'art et d'archéologie of Geneva, the Bibliothèque des Musées Royaux, Brussels, Castello di Rivoli and the Museo d'Arte Contemporaneo (Rivoli), the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), New Art Seibu, and the Sezon Museum of Art of Tokyo, to mention just a few...
