The curatorial team for the exhibition consists of prominent experts and preservation advocates, including Chrystyna Salam and Guillaume Cuiry (owner of La Galerie Nationale), two XXth century Design international experts, dealers and collectors.
The exhibition features a rare numerous body of work from Jacques Nestlé painting (period from 1950 to 1965),a large and carefully curated ensemble of ceramics of the 50’s and 60’s like Roger Capron, Pol Chambost, Peter and Denise Orlando, Georges Jouve... some of the biggest french Masters of Pottery during the golden age of Vallauris ceramic workshops.
The Apartment highlights the importance of our privates interiors as the spaces in which we conduct our daily lives and present the challenges in maintaining the integrity of these spaces in the face of uniformisation of taste due to social medias and mondialised offer in shops.
A great opportunity for UAE Design lovers and collectors to let the beauty of original creation enter their home interior.
