The grounds of the Fondation Carmignac are a unique mix of art and nature. Situated on the southern French island of Porquerolles, it’s home to some amazing sculptures celebrating the feminine form. Now, within the walls of its Villa, women are the centrepiece of its latest exhibition. Curated by Alona Pardo, ‘The Infinite Woman’ combines works from the Carmignac collection with the work of more than 60 pioneering artists. From the past to the present and the future, visions of myths and magic are mixed with complex or surreal depictions of sorcery and sexuality. But that's not all by any mean...

Strasbourg (France) (AFP) - Italy is allowed to confiscate an ancient Greek bronze fished from the Adriatic in the 1960s and now in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, Europe's top rights court ruled Thursday. Representing a nude athlete and known in the United States as "Victorious Youth", the statue vanished following its 1964 discovery until its 1977 purchase by the museum. The Getty has since refused to return it to Italy. The museum appealed to the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) after Italy's top tribunal in 2019 upheld an Italian confiscation order for the bronze. Fo...

L'installation de toutes les sculptures sur ce site de 132 hectares n'a pas été une tâche facile. Un travail qui a nécessité jusqu’à deux mois pour certaines œuvres. Kew Gardens espère que la nouvelle exposition incitera davantage de visiteurs à venir voir les jardins, mais elle souhaite également que les gens réfléchissent à l'importance des plantes dans notre environnement.

The “Light in Life” exhibition will take place on the 132-hectare site and will be open from May 4 to September 29. The sculptures, made mostly of stainless steel, are spread across vegetation’s Kew to reflect the greenery of the site. Quinn says: ’Kew approached me to do something and I came down, and I hadn't been for a long time. And when I came here and realised that they have hundreds of scientists doing research and horticulturists and I spent more and more time here, I realised that there was a whole show to do here, so we worked together to do that.’ The exhibition aims to attract more...

Kosovo-born artist Petrit Halilaj (b.1986) this week unveiled an exhibition on a very special canvas – the rooftop at New York’s iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art. This latest iteration of his extensive “Abetare” project, first shown in 2015, is based on extensive research, comprising around 3,000 doodles he found on classroom desks both at his former school in Kosovo and in other countries in the Balkans. For his first major outdoor installation, Halilaj has created a collection of sculptures – 3-D renderings of the doodles – atop the Met. Although playful – his steel and bronze works include...

Brazilian curator Adriano Pedrosa’s main show, which accompanies 88 national pavilions for the seven-month run, is strong on figurative painting, with fewer installations than recent editions. A preponderance of artists are from the Global South, long overlooked by the mainstream art world circuits. Many are dead. Frida Kahlo, for example, is making her first appearance at the Venice Biennale. Her 1949 painting “Diego and I” hangs alongside one by her husband and fellow artist, Diego Rivera. Despite their lower numbers, living artists have “a much stronger physical presence in the exhibition,”...

Often hailed as one of the founding fathers of modern sculpture, Romanian-born Constantin Brancusi was fully embraced by his adopted country France – and the feeling was mutual. When the sculptor died in 1957, he left the French government his Paris studio, where he had completed the majority of his works from 1916 until his death. Brancusi’s studio became a jewel in the Centre Pompidou’s collection, and was fully reconstructed on the parvis outside the museum’s walls in 1997. As the Centre Pompidou undergoes renovation works, the museum has taken the opportunity to give Brancusi’s studio a li...

In a seat of aristocratic opulence, 100 life-size cast iron figures stand looking out in different directions. Clearly they are human, but get a little closer and their faces appear formless, blurred. In spite of this - or perhaps because of it - their every gaze is penetrating. One of the only things we can know about these enigmatic sculptures is that they are all male, for they are nude. Moulded, in fact, on the artist’s own physique. This is Time Horizon, the latest work from English artist Antony Gormley, opening this week (April 21) to visitors of Houghton Hall, an 18th-century estate ho...
