When Artists Exhibit in Luxury Boutiques

When art and fashion meet, a harmonious symbiosis operates. Works of art and installations can be admired in luxury stores as well as in supermarkets or temporary boutiques / galleries. Three of them are essential. Let's review these three different and unique artists who have exhibited in well-known boutiques, supermarkets and stores.

Museums are closed, but masterpieces can still be admired at the Bon Marché Rive Gauche, where Prune Nourry has Carte Blanche. The luxury boutique, rue de Sèvres in Paris, has opened its doors to the first French artist for a hypnotic installation. “The Erogen Amazon”, the title of the work, features multiple arrows suspended in time and directs its trajectory towards a large target in breast form. Referring to the artist's breast cancer, the installation can also be seen as “the representation of lifelines, like a cut tree trunk”.

The signed arrows will be sold for charitable purposes to raise funds to help women fight cancer.

You have until February 21 to enjoy the view and follow the guided tour of the exhibition.

2. JR at the Galleria Continua
