A Family of Rooms is based on an invitation extended to Vincent Barré, whose work has been shaped by encounters and collaborations between France and the United States, to highlight the major stages of his career—offering both a retrospective and a reflection on his ties with the places and key figures that have marked his artistic journey.
In the Galerie Haute, Vincent Barré’s early works engage in dialogue with those of great masters who nourished his imagination and guided his steps through museum galleries. These exchanges reveal the choices at play in his artistic explorations, by setting the artist’s drawings and sculptures alongside those of Jean Arp, Constantin Brancusi, Richard Deacon, Simon Hantaï, and Judit Reigl, thereby shedding light on the essential influences in his work.
