The Boghossian Foundation is pleased to present "Alechinsky, pinceau voyageur", an invitation to journey through the remarkable body of the artist’s works. For the very first time since its opening to the public in 2010, the Boghossian Foundation presents a solo exhibition devoted to a major European artist of the 20th century, in the welcoming and unique setting of the Villa. The exhibition, curated by Catherine de Braekeleer, brings together an exceptional collection of around a hundred works and numerous archival documents, gathered over the past seventy years. "Alechinsky, pinceau voyageur", is an ode to travel, which explores notably this remarkable artist’s fascination with artistic practices and traditions in Japan and China, which have respectively inspired him. An ode to freedom, the exhibition highlights the artist’s freedom of experimentation, alternating between different techniques and mediums since 1947: canvases, inks, with or without embossing, etchings, lithographs, enameled lava, porcelain books, and even a harpsichord painted in 1986, displayed in the grand hall. An ode to friendship, the exhibition presents works created in collaboration with artists like Jiří Kolář, Hans Spinner, or to accompany the works of authors such as Salah Stétié, Amos Kenan, or Joyce Mansour. An ode to love, the exhibition also reveals itself through the image of the unpublished painting titled "Comme elle partait", created in 2023, as a tribute to Micky (1928-2023), whom he married in 1949.
