A Stone Left Unturned: 38 Artists at Galerie Yvon Lambert
From February 1 to March 9, 2013, Galerie Yvon Lambert in Paris showcases 'A Stone Left Unturned,' a curated group exhibition by Simon Castets. Featuring works from 38 artists, each piece is displayed in a spacious setting that allows for individual interpretation while fostering connections among them. The exhibition title is inspired by a work from Lawrence Weiner and reflects on the gallery's legacy and Yvon Lambert's influential role in bringing Conceptual and Minimal art to France during the early 1970s. Historic artists such as Sol LeWitt and Jenny Holzer are displayed alongside contemporary creators like Harold Ancart and Julieta Hanono. Richard Artschwager's 'Table/Table' (2008), made shortly before his passing on February 9, 2013, stands out. The exhibition also examines the relevance of adding new objects, echoing themes from Lucy Lippard's 'Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object from 1966 to 1972.' An online catalog is available.
