Field of synergies and exchanges, these cultural meetings will offer a small glimpse of the artistic initiatives of the Principality, which attract an ever-increasing public each year.
An art experience spread over three districts
The route starts in the Condamine district, at the NM Contemporary gallery, whose space has been totally transformed by the optical installations of the Italian artist Vincenzo Marsiglia, currently on display at the Venice Architecture Biennale. A little further down, Art-Box.Store offers, at the basement of the Galerie l’Entrepôt, three artists working between performance and street art: Jean Antoine Hierro, Manou Marzban and Joris Brantuas. On the ground floor, Daniel Boeri & Magdalena Gabriel present two artists inspired by nature, with the installation Royal Love by Sonia Falcone and Pierre Bonnefille’s works on paper.
Entering the Monte-Carlo district, visitors can discover a historical gallery of the Principality, the Galerie Adriano Ribolzi which celebrates the centenary of Maison Ribolzi. It hosts the works of "painting-sculptures" by the Italian artist Sergio Fermariello. Next door, modern sculpture is in the spotlight, at MF Toninelli Art Moderne gallery (by appointment), through a collection of works by renowned artists, such as Hans Arp or Constantin Brâncuși. A few meters away, Sotheby's opens its first private "pop-up" sales area with a selection of contemporary and modern paintings, and designer luxury pieces. On the same avenue, the Moretti Fine Art gallery, renowned for its expertise in the Masters of the Italian Renaissance, unveils one of its latest discoveries, a remarkable small gold ground representing the Virgin and Child, painted by the Sienese artist Sano di Pietro (Siena, 1405-1481). A few steps from there, the Wannenes Art Contact auction house presents a preview of the jewelry and objects from its next sale in Monaco.
