Everything you always wanted to know about Agnes b. without ever daring to ask. The stylist, patron and collector is known as the white wolf, a woman with a strong temperament and a fierce sensitivity that it is not a question of simplifying, diverting, contradicting. We saw a part of his very personal collection, on edge, at the Lambert Collection in Avignon. It is setting up in Paris in this rapidly changing XIIIth arrondissement, just opposite the MK2 Library, a few (pedestrian) steps from Station F, which lights up at night like a city of Moebius. We will now see it at La Fab, a new kind of contemporary art unit that intends to cross the Parisian landscape in a bohemian and radical soul. The door to his world opens onto the brand new Place Jean-Michel Basquiat. A sign. He is also inside in "La Hardiesse", an inaugural exhibition whose sincerity and the eye do great good. From Louise Bourgeois to Madeleine Berkhemer, from the handsome Ed Ruscha seen by Dennis Hopper to Germaine Krull and the young sculptor Vincent Laval, we are on the side of the artists. The Fab is embedded in the social housing building created by Augustin Rosenstiehl. It’s another world. New.
