Until 24 September 2023
Exploring the intersection of art and money, a new exhibition presents nearly 150 pieces from various eras in which an imaginary world of money unfolds.

Featured artists include Degas, Renoir, Louis le Nain, Arman, and Warhol.

Art advisors are deeply knowledgeable about the world of art and possess the necessary skills to evaluate an artwork and make judgments of its quality. They can provide guidance on pricing, authentication, provenance, and market trends, helping clients make informed decisions that align with their goals and objectives. A qualified art advisor typically has a professional background in galleries, museums, or art management and has developed a keen eye for good art.
During the 1960s, André Breton noted Degottex's interest in Zen Buddhism, as the artist incorporated symbols and features of oriental culture into his work while depriving them of any initial meaning. Signs, inscriptions, and gestures are recurrent in his creations, where emptiness and void bring balance to the composition.
These years are often described as his "writing" period. In the 1970s, Degottex turned his attention to the raw media and abandoned the ideas of brush and gesture. He experimented with the surface of his works, tearing papers, making inscriptions, gluing some parts and covering all with paint, or leaving some parts untouched. This approach, somewhere between meditation and spontaneity, resulted in works that did not arise from pictorial representation but rather assembled compositions of diverse practices.

Interestingly, his later works moved towards even more meditative and minimalist art, incorporating geometrical features with a renewed color palette of subtle hues of beige and grey. The repetition of movement or empty canvases showcases his new reflection on plastic representation. In his "Bois" series, the artist experimented with tores, strips from the surfaces of the paper, rolled them into balls, and produced prints, showcasing his primal tactile sensitivity.
Despite being a minimalist, Degottex's work remained sensitive and rigorous, and he was awarded the Kandinsky Prize in 1951 and the French National Painting Prize in 1981. His contributions to the abstraction movement are invaluable.

However, "Every image is not a work of art, and every work of art is not an image", as noted by the acknowledged sociologist and specialist in contemporary Art, Nathalie Heinich, during the conference about NFTs. Indeed, the process of artification is rather complex. Not every created image (nor object), by virtue of its rarity and creative concept, directly becomes a work of art. There are studies conducted by historians and sociologists and observations made involving the work by institutions, curators and critics, that aim to define it.
"Art emerges over time as the sum total of institutional activities, everyday interactions, technical implementations, and attributions of meaning. Artification is a dynamic process of social change through which new objects and practices emerge and relationships and institutions are transformed." It seeks to clarify and explain how a certain production is meaningful not only for specialized minority groups, "but to the point where the status of these productions as art becomes common knowledge and goes unquestioned" (Roberta Shapiro & Nathalie Heinich).
Despite numerous individual initiatives, the status quo of the NFT (as Art) belongs rather within a subjective opinion than an objective and common recognition.
There is a lot of discussion about The Community around the NFT; sharing ideas, talking on Twitter and at times being invited to certain events, or gaining access to something seen to be at the core of its essence. Obtaining a particular NFT is like an entry ticket to this community, which is very glam, especially with so many celebrities involved. Nonetheless, it remains rather a limited group, which acclaims the importance of itself as a community much more than what is actually created.

Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, book designer, "methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve, have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books, these rules have to be brought back to life and applied."
