Toni Grand - Pieces of a Possible Thing - Musée Fabre

From January 20, 2024

To present to the public the important and remarkable work of a sculptor little shown in recent years, and anchored in the Montpellier region, the Fabre Museum in Montpellier dedicates its entire temporary exhibition space to the sculptor Toni Grand (1935-2005 ). This important retrospective which brings together nearly seventy works, some of which are monumental, wishes to invite the widest possible public to (re)discover an essential figure from the second half of the 20th century , whose work has nevertheless been little shown these last decades.

By making visible the importance of the artist's work, the Toni Grand exhibition. Pieces of a Possible Thing will thus shed light and provide the keys to understanding one of the essential milestones of contemporary sculpture, which has influenced a number of artists (Richard Deacon, Katinka Bock and the choreographer Boris Charmatz). . It aspires to show how the artist sustainably renewed the artistic language of his time through the invention of new forms and the use of materials previously unexploited in the artistic field.

After the retrospective devoted to Germaine Richier , with this new proposal, the Fabre museum aims to give its visitors the means to think about the articulation of two key moments in French and international sculpture, in connection with its territory and its collections.
