A year ago, we were all deprived of the spring meeting of Art en Vieille-Ville, but the doors of the galleries are open again for this 28th edition, synonymous with the unexpected, light and purity.
On the menu, 16 exhibitions with, among others, the photo-graphic works of Annelies Strba or Christian Lutz, the trompe l'oeil in Dutch painting, the astonishing nature of Ducros and Della Gatta, pieces by the designer Jacques Adnet or the contemporary artists Roger de Montebello, Silvia Bächli and Bernhard Schobinger. There will also be smiles in the air with watercolors by Errò, whimsical and colorful works by Niki de Saint Phalle, cartoon characters by Kenny Scharf or Kays and works by Jean Dubuffet, Julian Opie or Sam Francis.
A pleasure never comes alone, AVV welcomes a new member to the association, Alexandre Illi and his eponymous bookshop. For his entrance, Illibrairie is partnering with l'Exemplaire for a rare exhibition: all the books published by the art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler between 1909 and 1939.
An open house on Saturday, May 20 from 11am to 5pm will extend the festivities with four free guided tours.
