Fiac 2012


Paris is full of modern art events and exhibits at the moment... Why now? Because it's La Fiac (Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain), a huge modern art exhibit that takes place every year at le Grand Palais. I went yesterday morning (Saturday) and even though I dislike the snobby artsy people that you often encounter is this kind of places, I did not regret it. Each booth (that is each gallery) had so much creativity and so many talents to offer that I could not take my eyes off of many of the pieces on display. Nor my camera... I took a lot of photos, but did not have time to post pick the best ones yet. In the meantime let me offer you this beautiful head that I found at the Michael Werner gallery.

    What a fun, silly, big head! Reminds me of Mr. Potato Head, a children's game!

  7. Went to the Werner gallery site but couldn't find who created these heads. Whoever it is, he (or she) has a colorful imagination!
