Camille Morineau Livres

This catalogue will accompany the first retrospective dedicated to Subodh Gupta in France, which will take place at the Monnaie de Paris in April 2018. For this event, several of the artist_s most iconic artworks, such as Doot, Very Hungry God or Faith Matters , will be exhibited in order to retrace his entire career from the early days in the 1990s, to his latest experimentations with video and sound. These artworks come from public and private collections and a new version of Specimen No. 108 is especially produced for the courtyard of the Monnaie de Paris. Characterised by the use of found objects and utensils out of daily life, Subodh Gupta_s work touches on universal themes: the opposition between rural and urban life, between craftmanship and industrialisation, between one-of-a-kind and mass-produced, between personnal and monumental scale. This catalogue will also offer in-depth essays written by renowned art critics, specialists of Subodh Gupta_s work, to help the reader better understand the production of this major contemporary artist, still not enough exhibited in western countries, as well as a new commented chronology summarizing the artist_s entire career to this day.

The iconic champagne house guides readers through the fascinating history of Maison Veuve Clicquot, its heritage, savoir-faire and cultural imprint through iconic objects, advertising, music, literature, and movies. On the occasion of its 250th anniversary, Veuve Clicquot imagined "Solaire Culture," its first traveling exhibition on a global scale. This non-museal, immersive and 100% feminine exhibition aims to establish a compelling dialogue between past and present, interpreted through the eyes of internationally renowned women artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Sheila Hicks, Monique Frydman and Tacita Dean. It also showcases the striking contemporary artwork specially commissioned for the occasion as well as documents from the House's archives. Author Monica Sabolo retraces the life of Madame Clicquot - Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin -, a tireless optimist and an audacious trailblazer who revolutionized the world of champagne with three major inventions still in use today.
