In his book Le Goût de la vérité (1996), he accuses the Ras l'front cofounder Gilles Perrault of being "fascist".
He has published numerous monographs on 20th-century art, notably Situation de l’art moderne: Paris-New York (in association with William Rubin), Henri Matisse, Robert Motherwell: La vérité en peinture, Les Modernes et la tradition, Les États-Units de la peinture and L’art abstrait.
His most celebrated books, L'affaire Louis XVII (Tallandier, 1995, 2000) and Louis XVII : la vérité (Pygmalion, 2000) have attracted intense interest from the public and the media due to their groundbreaking analyses of DNA research on a human heart long-supposed to be that of Louis XVII, dead in Temple Tower, Paris, in 1795.
