Until 8 Mar: La Conquista della Modernità – Sèvres, 1920/2008 (The Conquest of Modernity – Sèvres 1920-2008)
Over 100 works show us the manufacturing art of Sèvres, porcelain pieces and drawings created with traditional techniques and processes but in a modern and streamlined design. Among the pieces on show – made by both established artists and emerging ones – particularly worth citing is “La Bocca” by Bertrand Lavier, “Odore di Femmina de Sèvres” by Johan Creten, “Dragon dans les nuages” by Clémence Van Lunen and the installation of 60 perfumed roses made in biscuit-fired porcelain created exclusively for the 250 years of existence of the firm.
