‘Today, our focus is increasingly centered on sculpture. We are expanding this part of the collection, with many of the artworks soon to be installed in two or three sculpture parks currently in development. We have already committed to cooperating with a foundation in the South of France and a museum in Austria. One of the sculpture parks will be dedicated to major minimalist works by artists such as Carl Andre, Larry Bell, Flavin, Donald Judd, LeWitt, Robert Morris, Sandback, Tony Smith, Bernar Venet, and Lawrence Weiner, among others. Another will feature outstanding pieces by David Altmejd, Baselitz, Alberto Burri, Richard Deacon, Valie Export, Antony Gormley, Hans Josephsohn, Alicja Kwade, Richard Long, Sarah Lucas, Jaume Plensa, Sterling Ruby, Thomas Schütte, Rebecca Warren, Erwin Wurm, and more. These parks are conceived as spaces for contemplation, discovery, and dialogue – extending our commitment to making art accessible and placing it in environments where it can be experienced in new and meaningful ways.
‘As one of us is a filmmaker, we felt compelled to make a documentary portraying our sculpture collection. The result is Before and After/The intimate story of a collection, written and directed by Anne de Boismilon. This film will be presented in museums as well as at documentary film festivals. Its objective is to explore the artworks and the artists behind them, and what it means to create and curate a collection – an artistic gesture in its own right.’
