Over the years, the Principality of Monaco has hosted an
increasing number of varied artistic events. Home to art galleries
and internationally renowned auction houses, it has become an
important place in the art world with its fairs, exhibitions and
cultural events.
Galleries and auction houses established in the Principality have
chosen to join forces around the same objective: to promote their
rich and diverse activities, and contribute to Monaco’s cultural
reach on the local, regional and international scene. The MONACO
ART WEEK association is the result of this shared desire.
The first event initiated by the association is MONACO ART
WEEK. It will take place between 26 and 29 April 2018. All the
Principality’s neighbourhoods will be involved in the event, in
conjunction with the artmonte-carlo fair at the Grimaldi Forum and
Nomad at La Vigie.
At the same time, the Ballets de Monte-Carlo and the Festival
Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo will reveal their new productions
at the Grimaldi Forum. During this bustling period, when Monaco
takes centre stage, the intention is to appeal to all those who have
come to discover and nourish their passion for the arts, whether
they are novices, onlookers or experienced art-lovers.
« MONACO ART WEEK »from 26 to 29 April 2018
25 April will be devoted to receiving the press.
The highlight of this day will be the openings through different
areas of the Principality.
As part of its first edition, MONACO ART WEEK will organize a
round table on the art in Monaco, hosted by professionals from this
sphere as well as external speakers. It will be held at the Grimaldi
Forum, on Saturday 28 April, at 11 a.m.

Founded in 2003 in Monaco, 11 Columbia gallery presents exhibitions of contemporary art and design under the direction of Delphine Pastor Reiss.
Painting, sculpture, drawing and photography confront the viewer and offer a broad spectrum of contemporary creation with a special place reserved for modern and contemporary design.
Over the years, 11 Columbia has developed close ties with some international galleries she invites to exhibit and with which she shares the same affinities, such as Air de Paris, François Laffanour and Galerie Kreo in Paris, Gate 5 in Monaco, Esther Schipper in Berlin, or Galleria O and Franco Noero in Italy.
Today after fifteen years of presence, 11 Columbia continues with the same enthusiasm to defend contemporary art and to propose a program of international stature.
long-term collaboration with Patrick Modiano. Pierre Le-Tan has
always been living with images, as his father, Le-Pho, Vietnamese
painter who established himself in Paris before World War II.
The exhibition will present a number of recent drawings and
the installation Intérieur de fantaisie deploying a drawing which
creates a mise en abyme into space and plays with the idea of
frame, mysterious old wooden measuring objects and a real frame
with a set of drawings in the drawing. A metaphysical fantasy.

11 Columbia gallery is pleased to present for the second time a
solo exhibition of recent works by Pierre Le-Tan.
Born in 1950, Pierre Le-Tan is a painter and draftsman. His
drawings have been published in numerous magazines, including
the prestigious New Yorker, at the age of nineteen and appeared
on film sets, notably in Quadrille by Valérie Lemercier. Pierre

Alfredo Pallesi was born in Bologna. Coming from a family of antique dealers, he opened his first cabinet in Rome in 1968. In 1981, he began his collaboration with Finarte Casa d’Aste at the Rome headquarters. After a few years, he became General Manager and took care of the headquarters of Milan, then Madrid.
In 2002, he resigned from Finarte and opened a gallery in Rome at 54 Via Margutta. He returns to his former activity by dedicating himself to the sale of paintings and sculptures from the 17th to the 20th century. He participates in various exhibitions including the Biennial of Florence and Rome. In 2011, he moved the gallery to the Principality of Monaco where he opened at Park Palace.
For an Italian gallery located abroad, it seemed quite natural to
present a sample of these works, which are the testimony of the
artistic development of that time.
VIEW AND LANDSCAPE OF ITALY
VINCENZO CAPRILE(Naples, 1856 - 1936) « First Holy communion at Positano »Oil on canvas, 153 x 114 cm
The period of the nineteenth century is characterized by travels
throughout Europe, which are much easier than in the previous
century.
Italy becomes the unavoidable destination for foreign painters.
Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and their surroundings are
greatly frequented by artists from all over Europe, as evidenced
by their innumerable travel diaries.
There are many paintings with the subject of Italian’s views
and landscapes, which are well known all over Europe but also
overseas.
ARTCURIAL

Artcurial was founded in 2002, just at the time the French auction market was opening up to competition, and quickly became the leading French auction house. Since then the firm has continually innovated, launching new specialties such as Design and Street Art, which are a major international success.
Today, as a multifaceted auction house, Artcurial enjoys international recognition and has earned its place at the forefront of the art market. With sales taking place mainly in Paris and Monaco, the auction house made nearly 200 M euros in 2017.
Conceived as a cultural venue, the passion for works of art and
collectors’ items is expressed around a core of main specialities - from fine art to decorative art, collectors’ cars, jewellery, important clocks and watches, fine wines and spirits, etc., in fact more than 25 areas of expertise.
With a clear international focus, Artcurial’s expertise extends
beyond the French borders, exporting its know-how through representative offices in Brussels, Milan, Monte-Carlo, Munich and Vienna as well as having a presence in Beijing and Tel Aviv and holding biannual exhibitions in New York. In October 2015, Artcurial organised its first sales in Hong Kong and in Morocco.
In 2017 the Artcurial group acquired John Taylor - one of the oldest luxury real estate companies.

In 1976, the De Jonckheere house in Brussels was founded, specializing in the study and sale of Flemish paintings from the 15th to the 17th centuries. In 1984, the gallery moved to Paris. Its various collections are presented to the most demanding of amateurs and especially when participating in the main fairs of ancient art such as the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris or the TEFAF in Maastricht.
In April 2011, the De Jonckheere Gallery opened its new space in the heart of the historic district of Geneva. From now on and since the 2012 edition of the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris, a staging of works both ancient and modern marks the two facets of its activity. In June 2017, the gallery inaugurates a second space in Monaco.
NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE, « Last night I had a dream »
Born in 1930, Niki de Saint Phalle, who started out as a model
then trained as an actor, exorcised the traumas of her childhood
through her art. An iconic figure among the female artists of the
second half of the 20th century, she was struck by the fantastical
power of Antonio Gaudi’s work, whom she discovered the work
for the first time in Park Güell in 1955. The end of the 1960s marked
her desire to bring together, in large sculpted assemblies, the
various figures drawn from her dreams and vivid imagination.
Last Night I had a Dream is one of them: it is comprised of her
nanas, her favourite animals as well as symbols of her trips and
her love affairs. This group of 18 sculptures in painted polyester,
created in 1968, exhibits ‘signature’ motifs, also repeated, several
times, in drawings accompanied by texts dating from the same
year. Reflections of her innermost thoughts, oscillating between
humour and irony, these sculpted and painted totems are the
vectors for her emotions: the colours, the rounded shapes,
the chubby women, all serve to conceal a deep suffering.
Exhibited in full this spring by De Jonckheere at its gallery in
Monaco, this series summons up the memories of a dream.
A dream that seems to have contained all the symbols of
happiness in love in the mythology of this astonishing artist.

Exhibition dedicated to lighting effects in 19th century painting,
mainly in Italy; focusing principally on Ippolito Caffi, a painter
of light and colour, lover of the night and its lunar reflections,
and undoubtedly the absolute master of ‘special effects’
who knew how to capture the magic of these atmospheres.
GALERIE RETELET

Since 1990, the Retelet Gallery offers masterpieces of Modern and Contemporary Art to art lovers and collectors. Formerly located in Saint-Paul de Vence and Brussels, the Retelet Gallery selects the works of the great names of History of Art primarily for their quality and their provenance. It is because the exhibited works are chosen with care and expertise that the Gallery has been able to satisfy a demanding clientele throughout the years.
In April 2018, Galerie Retelet is pleased to announce its opening with a new space in Monaco during Monaco Art Week.
sculpture. He makes abstract collages based on narrative
references, such as Had Gadya series inspired by illustrations
from the Jewish song, or the series The Waves, which refers to
the novel Moby Dick.
Peter Halley also proposes works of a new kind. Inspired by New
York’s geometric urbanism, the social structures that govern our
society today as well as the digital era in which we live in, he
presents highly geometric abstract works related to a fragmented
world.
Through this exhibition, these three artists will demonstrate how
they managed to propose, each in their own way, another way
to Clement Greenberg’s modernist vision and participate in the
renewal of American Abstract movement.

For its opening, Galerie Retelet gathers three emblematic figures
of the American Abstraction: Sam Francis, Frank Stella and Peter
Halley. These three artists, influenced by abstract expressionism,
have emancipated themselves from this movement and give us a
new vision of Contemporary American Abstraction.
Sam Francis develops in his works a new aesthetic of color
through abstract shapes that he places on the canvas to reveal the
background: place of infinity. This background gives an intense
depth to his works and lets the shapes expressing themselves.

ANIMAL PARTY Contemporary Art from Iran
RAMTIN ZAD«ANIMAL PARTY, Elysium series », 2015Acrylic on canvas, 180 x 180 cm
The human-like quality associated with animals throughout
the history has entered the Iranian imagination from the book
illustrations of old myths to the Coffee-House paintings of folkloric
stories. The natural and artistic responses in the eventful works
of Shadi Rezaei, Negar Jahanbakhsh, Shaghayegh Shojaian and
Ramtin Zad evoke specific reactions in twilight worlds within
a contemporary approach. This exhibition presents a careful
selection of recently created paintings that meet and float on the
borders between the powerful and the gentle, the familiar and
the alien, the poetic and the literal as well as the old and the new.

Iran Contemporain
Will be presented by Magic of Persia at The Grimaldi Forum
during Art Monte-Carlo
The contemporary Iranian art field has been growing in the
global scene much faster than ever before. Its evolution in the
21st century is owed to not only the increased number of artists
in the homeland and in the diaspora, but also to the Iranian
curators and institutes whose involvement in the field have
been immeasurable.
In collaboration with the Art Monte-Carlo 2018, Magic of
Persia (A London-based Art Charity Foundation) will present
a panel discussion and an exhibition titled Contemporary Iran.
The panel aims to discuss the contemporary condition of
Iranian art both locally and globally from various aspects
encompassing educational, artistic and economical angles. This
exhibition presents a historiographical review of the formation
of new art in Iran.
The conference will be held on Sunday 29 April at 6p.m. at the
Grimaldi Forum.

“SOUS LES PAVÉES, LA PLAGE !”
Taking one of May 68’s slogans, a situationist drift, Wolfgang
Weileder and Cédric Tesseire, two artists dear to Gino Gianuizzi,
examine the visible. While they’re questioning their support,
these two artists highlight the invisible and let the spectator
witness their own wishes.
On one hand, Wolfgang Weileder, through his large format
photographic works, questions the notion of space-time, and
the limits between figuration and abstraction. Captivating
and fascinating, they bring the spectator to the most total
contemplation.
While Cédric Teisseire, works paintings composed of colored
lines that slide in a straight line. Leaving the process operate on
its own, the artist gets rid of subjectivity and affirms the cooling
of painting. Of this distance from making, are curiously born
sumptuous contemporary icons rereading abstract and minimal
art with the outmost elegance and regain a form of aura.
The meeting of these two artists, allows a questioning on the
stakes of the representation of the non visible in the contemporary
art. The viewer has to get around it better to perceive and
understand their visions.
«The depth must be hidden. Where ? On the surface «.

The gallery opens its space also to foreign artists, writers and musicians.
The 2018 Calendar includes seven one man shows focused on the theme: « The relation between art and science ». The gallery has fourteen artists who exhibited in Biennales and museums.
On the occasion of Monaco Art Week and artmonte-carlo the gallery will present the show « RUBEDO » by young talented Leonardo Petrucci from the Rome artistic pole « Pastificio Cerere » who has hosted since many years the most prominent Italian artists from the School of Rome.
The show presents a new series of works by Leonardo Petrucci especially conceived for MONACO ART WEEK.
« RUBEDO »Exposition de Leonardo Petrucci
nm>contemporary presents the exhibition “Rubedo” by
Leonardo Petrucci, especially conceived for Monaco Art Week
and artmonte-carlo.
Leonardo Petrucci is a young Italian artist belonging to the
artistic pole named « Pastificio Cerere » in Rome.
He had a one man show at Baruchello Foundation in Rome in
2016 and will present « Rubedo » in Monaco at the same time as
the Baruchello exhibition at Villa Arson in Nice.
This liaison among the roman institution and that of Nice will
allow the public of Monaco Art Week and artmonte-carlo 2018 to
discover the continuity between a young talent and an important
artist such as Gianfranco Baruchello, close to Marcel Duchamp,
Jacques Lacan, Pierre Restany and the French New Realists.
The title “Rubedo” recalls the third and last phase of alchemic
transmutation.
During this phase, the matter becomes red and gets to the
absolute perfection gaining a cosmic purity.
The exhibition is a synthesis of the alchemic process leading the
visitor through two rooms.
Black is the dominant color of the first room and represents the
Nigredo, the first alchemic phase, which means corruption and
imperfection.
The works displayed recall geometrical solids whose symmetry
is build and destroyed to evoke the contrast between limits and
infinity.
In the second room the viewer experiences the matter’s
purification walking in a red light ambience where a series of
carpets, hand made by Indian artisans, reproduce faithfully the
first images of Mars surface, taken by Rover Curiosity (NASA) in
2012.
The astronomic aspect of the show is a metaphor of the alchemist
research of a new dimension, a pioneering action which makes
the visitor direct protagonist of the first step on the new planet
and a new mystique world.

The Gallery presents masterpieces from Picasso, Chagall, Botero, Miro. Also a good selection of contemporaries artists like David Kin Whittaker, Andy Denzler and Zhuang Hong YI.
ITALIANS MONOCHROMES
Opera Gallery Monaco is proud to present the exhibition Italians Monochrome, a selection of works of artists from around the
world who have contributed to monochrome painting such as
Lucio Fontana, Turi Simeti , Agostino Bonalumi, Marcello Lo
Giudice and Alessandro Algardi.
Although monochromes have existed since ancient times in Asia
and Africa, it was only as of 1915 that a concept was conceived
by Kasimir Malevitch and illustrated in his famous painting Black
Square on White Backdrop, considered ‘‘the ultimate point in
painting, or its zero point’’. Monochrome art has undergone in-
depth research while experiencing success and failure throughout
the 20th century. It is, however, unquestionably in Italy, after
World War II, that it earned its stripes.
In 1947, Lucio Fontana published his Primo Manifesto dello Spazialismo, followed by Manifesto Spazialismo in 1948, where
he exposed his theories on unity in art and architecture. These
publications inspired young artists like Agostino Bonalumi and
Turi Simeti. In 1951, the artist completed his first monochrome
pieces, initially created as architectural ornaments before being
considered as unique works of art.
Monochrome art is not a style nor a movement but rather the
result of an atitude, a personal stand taken by the artist. Its main
goal is to explore the relationship between context and content.
Monochromes Italiens, which will be exhibited from April
25th to April 30th, reflects the genre’s variety of approaches
and techniques. This is how Lucio Fontana transformed the
monochrome piece into architectural concepts symbolising all
the questions related to the era of reconstruction in the 1950s.
As for Marcello Lo Giudice, the artist used the genre as a support
for his organic works using the elements of nature, the Earth and
volcanos, as echos to the various ecological issues of the early
21st Century. Monochromes inevitably evoke the perceptions of
a given me and the artist’s interrogations of the era.

Sotheby’s opened its first office in Monaco in 1967 and was the first international auction house to organise public sales in the Principality of Monaco. Many sales were held in Monte Carlo until the opening of the art market in France, putting an end to the 400-year-old monopoly of French auctioneers.
For more than 30 years, the Sporting d’Hiver was the scene of exceptional sales featuring furniture, paintings and objets d’art from European collections.

“LET’S HAVE AN ARTVENTURE!”
Within the framework of the MONACO ART WEEK
programme, the events agency MC Solution is organising

In teams of two to eight people, and with the help of a
GPS integrated into a tablet, the participants have to go
to the participating galleries or auction houses. Once
there, they have to answer questions and take part in
games that focus on the works and artists exhibited in
every gallery: quiz, games where you have to find the
differences, puzzles, images to mime out, etc., in order
to acquire the maximum number of points in a given
time.
! Ready, steady... go!
This offer is available to businesses as of 25 April and
throughout the year.
