Voici une adresse confidentielle (proche de Dansaert) où voir du Boltanski

hors Biennale de Venise, Grand Palais à Paris, ou CAPC qui vous réconciliera avec l’art contemporain : le musée privée Vanhaerents Art Collection. Où j’ai rencontré par hasard Walter Vanhaerents, entepreneur et collectionneur passionné et éclectique, parmi ses géants en mirroirs, les superbes sculptures monumentales de l’artiste québecquois, David Altmejd. Toutes les oeuvres de sa collection sont des coups de coeur qu’il choisit lui même et ne sont pas toutes exposées. Inspirée par la chanson des Rolling Stone, Sympathy for the Devil est la seconde exposition du musée, présentant jusqu’au 30 novembre 2013, plusieurs artistes internationaux.

Médoc, France: Château d’Arsac, A Mix of Contemporary Art and Wines

Posted on January 23, 2012 | Leave a comment

After visiting the CAPC in Bordeaux, I am very surprised to discover in one of the older Médoc properties, le Pouce ( The Tthumb, 1965) of César (picture above). Welcome to Château d’Arsac, purchased in 1986 by Philippe Raoux ; this Bordeaux wine merchant is also a contemporary art collector. The story of Château d’Arsac starts in the 12th century, then the property was owned by the brother of the famous French philosopher Montaigne. Today the Arsac estate consists of 112 hectares dont 54 in the Margaux appellation and 50 in the Haut-Médoc appellation. And if you’re interested to see the twenty sculptures of Château d’Arsac, the Bordeaux Tourism Office and the Winery, organize visits to discover the artwoks and the wines.
