We has created a large catalogue of SOULAGES FOR GALERIE APPLICAT-PRAZAN
The exhibition “Dialogues I Around Pierre Soulages” will be presented in preview at the Galerie Applicat-Prazan stand at the FIAC, Grand Palais, October 22-25. It will continue at the gallery itself from October 30 to December 12, 2009.
A catalog was created and published by the Communic’Art agency at the request of the Galerie Prazan-Applicat. The catalog, in non-standard size (30x40cm, without binder), is arranged in two parts.
In the first part, “Dialogues,” five paintings by Pierre Soulages are presented dating from 1953, 1957, 1958 and 2007.
These large-format works show in particular the architectural research that guided the artist in the 50s.
The second part, “Around Pierre Soulages,” is “a special tribute to the unique work of Pierre Soulages in establishing an exacting dialogue between those exceptional paintings and those – among the most significant – of several great abstract artists,” writes Franck Prazan.
Communic’Art has also produced an Invitation as well as press ads for Art+Auction, Connaissance des Arts and Fine Arts Magazine, on the occasion of the exhibition.
The exhibition is of a very high level, with all works of exceptional quality. It was conceived in parallel with the Pierre Soulages exhibition at the Pompidou Center, October 14, 2009 to March 8, 2010.
For Franck Prazan, it’s a highlight in a career specializing in the presentation of the Moderns: “I have long dreamed of organizing an exhibition such as this one, around Pierre Soulages. Everyone knows the admiration I have for the man and his work. In terms of inherent quality – that of Soulages obviously, but also Riopelle, Atlan, Schneider, Mathieu, Hartung, Poliakoff and Vieira – the works speak for themselves, and there is nothing to add … I won’t say any more except that it is precisely for the privilege offered to me here to present paintings such as these that I practice the profession which is mine.”
The exhibition “Dialogues I Around Pierre Soulages” will be presented in preview at the Galerie Applicat-Prazan stand at the FIAC, Grand Palais, October 22-25. It will continue at the gallery itself from October 30 to December 12, 2009.
