The average public waits with mad impatience to be able to go to the Paris Bourse du Commerce. From February 16 to June 6, the American sculptor Charles Ray exhibits some of his finest works in the building that houses the François Pinault collection, including The New Beetle – 2006 -, horse and rider – 2004 – or most recent Unbaled Truck – 2021. But a few hours before the official opening of the show, several people were able to discover the installation, in preview… and in the presence of the artist.
This opening was a great opportunity for Julie Gayet and François Hollande to wander the corridors of the Paris Bourse du Commerce hand in hand. But the former presidential couple were far from alone in this sublime building, whose recent renovation is signed by the Japanese Tadao Ando but also by the NeM agency – composed of Thibault Marca and Lucie Niney, the sister of the actor!
