Perrotin returns to Art Basel Paris with a meticulously curated presentation that illuminates the gallery’s unwavering commitment to artistic excellence and visionary expression. The booth emerges as a sanctum of contemporary creativity, drawing visitors into a world where sculpture, painting and installation converge in exquisite dialogue.
The inaugural experience unfolds through two monumental works by Takashi Murakami: School Girl Ko², a striking steel sculpture that commands presence through its geometric precision, alongside a transcendent encounter with Ogata Kōrin’s « Tachiaoi zu Byōbu » rendered in luminous gold leaf on canvas. This juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary sensibilities speaks to the gallery’s profound understanding of artistic lineage and innovation.
A particularly momentous unveiling awaits in the form of a new sculpture by Jeppe Hein, presented following the announcement of his representation by the gallery and in anticipation of his major exhibition scheduled for Paris in March 2027. This presentation marks a significant chapter in the artist’s trajectory and the gallery’s expanding constellation of collaborations.
