EAC – Espace de l’Art Concret

herman de vries: my poetry is the world

From March 30, 2024 to January 05, 2025

Sybil Albers and Gottfried Honegger

Curated by Fabienne Grasser-Fulchéri and Anne Moeglin-Delcroix

Espace de l’Art Concret has a long history with herman de vries.

Even before the art center opened, Sybil Albers and Gottfried Honegger were familiar with the artist’s work, and acquired several of his pieces. The exhibition terre, vie et poésie (earth, life and poetry) organized in 1991, a year after the opening of the eac, provided the opportunity for further collaboration during the artist’s residency. It was on this occasion that he collected over 220 earth samples from the Mouans-Sartoux area. After rubbing them on paper, he will incorporate them into his earth museum catalog.
