Peter Freeman, Inc. presents Robert Filliou centenary show in Paris
Peter Freeman, Inc. has announced a new exhibition in Paris to commemorate the centenary of Robert Filliou, who lived from 1926 to 1987. Titled 'Une histoire chuchotée de l’art', the show features artwork from 1966 to 1984 and is the gallery's first Filliou exhibit in Paris since 2012. The gallery has been representing Filliou's estate since the 1990s. A self-taught artist since the 1950s, Filliou blended his background in economics with interests in philosophy, linguistics, and more. He famously called himself a 'genius without talent' and produced a range of creative works while staying independent from the Fluxus movement. This exhibition underscores his enduring influence and the gallery's commitment to preserving his legacy.
