5th edition of Monaco Sculptures

For the 5th edition of Monaco Sculpture, the Artcurial auction house, in partnership with the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, will be presenting a selection of iconic sculptures from the 20th and 21st centuries from early April to early September 2024.

Among the works exhibited in Monaco are monumental sculptures that we have produced in small format for our “ART FOR ALL” collection.

In these gardens, you can also admire Francesco Marino di Teana‘s Aube, described by Tomás Alva Negri as “the most perfect and harmonious form created by Marino di Teana”. Interested in the circle since the 1960s, the sculptor began by breaking it down, before creating the sculpture Aube in 1977, the most telling example of his tri-unitary theory “1 + 1 = 3”.

L’enfant abrité by Parvine Curie can also be seen at the Jardins de la Petite Afrique in Monaco. “L’habitacle-mère” reveals a stripped-down form, embodying a refuge as much as the comforting presence of a united family. This 1.70-meter work is the artist’s first of this size.

Monaco Sculptures 2024 also features Yazid Oulab‘s Âlif-clou in the Jardin Saint-James. A link between gesture and spirit, but also between the two cultures that inspire the artist – Western and Arab – nails best symbolize Yazid Oulab’s work. These nails were first exhibited at the FRAC Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur in 2013.
