The ambience is like visiting someone’s private apartment
Maybe on another planet? Did you watch 3 Body Problem yet?
One gallerist told me he sold out of his apartment in Palais Royale by appointment.
Like Pulp in the 9th. Wouldn’t that be a fun browse 🤔
The crowd was pretty eclectic. According to Focusldn, If you're attending an art gallery opening, you may wish to wear something a little more relaxed. A silk oversized blouse with cigarette pants, leggings, or skinny jeans will look great. Choose a chunky pendant or layered necklace to complete your look.
Mucho noir bien sur.
I was drooling over this jacket. Turns out she got it in Cambridge, Mass. Go figure.
Artiste Béatrice Serre went appropriately for the goddess look
With her own immersive temple-like structure called ‘Cosmosaïque’ of 30 boxes for each year she’s been working - Galerie Yved Gastou 12, rue Bonaparte. She won the prize 🥇 at Pad Paris
Does it look like fun? Bonjour François-Xavier Lalanne birds 🐦
It was! Oh by the way there’s a Fête de la Laine 🐑 on Sunday. France = land of fêtes🎉
Land of fêtes, indeed! They sure do keep you busy. Hard to believe that all took place in a tent. Very glam. Those Lalanne birds seem large for Paris apartments…maybe intended for the garden? I definitely prefer the sheep. Looking forward to your visit to the wool fête.
I loved this post! Tell me, please: how do these beautiful women who are wearing such precious clothing travel to and fro? Do they arrive via Uber sans outerwear? Is there a ‘coat check’ where they leave their coats? Or do they wander around Paris in these stylish getups? Maybe they arrive with an entourage of helpers….
Good question. I was wondering too as I shlepped around in my Japanese raincoat. Yes, there is a coat check. And we got a classy PAD Paris black bag when we left so we could be walking adverts 😀
You go to all the best places! Wondering if the Lalanne birds would fit in my appartment? ❤️🗼
ReplyDeleteI try Daina 😂
DeleteGet the sheep def 🐑
How fun! Love these salons, where ‘hypothetically’ you can buy. Quite an arty crowd. Love your people watching photos. ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks I wanna be the ‘Carol’ Cunningham of art shows when I grow up
