Description
The Pinault Collection at the Bourse de Commerce is a must-see for any art lover. Discover the exclusive experience with a private tour by an expert licensed guide at the Bourse of Paris, exploring the breathtaking Pinault Collection. Get an insider’s view of the world-renowned art collection and marvel at the stunning architecture of the historic building.
The Pinault Collection unfolds in the historic beauty of the former Paris Bourse de Commerce and in the radical and meditative space imagined by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
In the spring of 2024, a set of iconic works from the Pinault Collection will be displayed throughout the Bourse de Commerce.
Le monde comme il va – the title of a philosophical tale by Voltaire (The World As It Goes in English) – alludes to the tumult and turbulence of current events. Bringing together works mainly from the 1980s to the present day, the exhibition reveals the heightened awareness of the present that artists express.
Faced with the excesses and paradoxes of our society and our world, as well as the difficulties of our time, the artists (Maurizio Cattelan, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Luc Tuymans…) are at times prophetic and visionary, at others philosophical. Sometimes they are cynical and ironic, often they are poetic and re-enchanting.
This awareness of artists is demonstrated by Kimsooja’s monumental yet delicate piece installed in the Museum Rotunda, in the context of a “carte blanche” given to the artist. An immense mirror placed on the ground inverts the architecture and with it, the order of the world. The invisibility of the material, which merely reflects its surrounding reality, reminds us that we are the protagonists of this narrative.
