In Paris, the third modern art museum of the collector François Pino opened

12.10.2021

In Paris, the third museum of modern art of one of the world ' s most wealthy people, founder and owner Kering Group (Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent and other brands), the owner of the Cristis auction house, the collector François Pino. Two others in Venice: in the old building, the Customs office and Grazie Palace.

When Pino started collecting works of art 40 years ago, he acquired the work of artists in the first half of the twentieth century, but concluded that the best of them had already found their lucky owners and focused on their moderns. At present, its private collection has about 10,000 works worth 1 and 1 billion euros. It includes 400 artists, photographers, sculptors. Some of them can be seen at the Paris Museum Pino. These include Urs Fisher's wax sculptures. You'll meet the artists who are classic these days: Marlene Duma, Peter Doiga, Kerry James Marshall, and you'll open up the authors of the 1980-1990s.

The Museum is in the building of a historical trade exchange near Louvre and Pompidou Center. François Pino ' s premises were made available on full renovation. He trusted her to hold all her projects to the Japanese architect, the winner of the Tadao Ando Prize Prize.

Restorators re-established the dome of 1812, which is the object of historical heritage. Restored the gallery of fresco and facade. The architect ' s task was to make the object a modern face without violating the integrity and historical value of the building. And to distinguish between the space, the matttress under the dome set a concrete cylinder at a height of 9 metres and a diameter of 30 m. It has a main exhibition room and space for events. Through the open top of the cylinder, visitors can love a historic dome from any floor. A staircase is located outside the cylinder. There's a round balcony upstairs and gallery entrances.

There's a video- and audible installation in the 10 exhibition rooms. Thus

The work presented is very different in shape and content, but they all reflect current trends and challenges. Each of Pino's work was personally asserted.
