FERRERO GIFT PERMANENT EXHIBITION

ARTISTIC - 27 Boulevard Dubouchage - Nice
Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

In November 2019, the Donation Ferrero Collection found a case to suit it by integrating the premises of L'Artistique.

Throughout its history, L'Artistique has promoted art with exhibitions of paintings, sculptures, photographs, concerts and other shows. Thus, in the theatre room, Ben made multiple performances, immortalized for the most part thanks to photographs and films made by a certain Jean Ferrero...

With its Belle Epoque salons, an "overflowing" presentation and a clash that restores its collector-accumulator spirit, the Artistiquea now takes us to Jean Ferrero.

Caesar's graphic work is little known, rarely shown, yet it must be considered in its singularity because it constitutes a full part of his work. Installed in a corner of a studio set up for him at the back of Jean Ferrero's gallery or on a simple kitchen table, César constantly drew, mixing techniques and tools, playing with the boundaries between graphic arts and sculpture.

When Caesar sculpts or draws, the work springs from the chance of finding and manipulating: "In my country, it's always like this, the idea suddenly springs from the discovery of a material, a process [...]; I experience the possibilities of resources, I correct one form, I take another."
