LES “FRAGILE GIANTS” DE MICHEL BASSOMPIERRE CONQUIÈRENT NEW YORK

For the first time, Michel Bassompierre’s iconic monumental artworks are being exhibited in New York!
 
Nine bears and gorillas are taking over chic Park Avenue until May 2026. In the heart of the city that never sleeps, these silent giants are a powerful ode to the living world, and a poignant reminder of its fragility.
 
‘We need to create a sense of wonder. This reconnection with the beauty of nature is necessary to make people want to protect it’ – says the artist.
 
Often renowned for their frenetic pace, New Yorkers are already taking the time to stop and admire the magnificence, roundness and striking softness of these sculptures…
