Villeglé's work with posters that he found in the streets-some ripped by anonymous passers-by or decayed by the passage of time,and some even damaged to the point of illegibility-exhibited his desire to subvert the conventional discourse of advertising and political propaganda.Since the 1960s,Villeglé's work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe and North America,and forms part of the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art,as well as many prestigious museums and galleries around the world.Villeglé was a featured artist in the 2006 exhibition"Nouveau Réalisme: Art and Reality in the 1960s"at Vienna's Museum of Modern Art.
