Norman Foster Curates Moving Exhibition at Carré d'Art, Nîmes
Architect Norman Foster has curated his first exhibition, 'Moving Norman Foster on Art,' at the Carré d'Art in Nîmes, a building he designed twenty years ago. The show features around one hundred works, including three small, abstract watercolors by J.M.W. Turner and a painting by Mark Rothko, alongside pieces by Gotthard Graubner, Ettore Spalletti, and Prudencio Irazabal. The title 'Moving' refers both to emotion and movement, the latter illustrated by Umberto Boccioni's sculpture 'Unique Forms of Continuity in Space' placed opposite white paintings by Miquel Barceló. Other artists include Birgir Andrésson and Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle. The exhibition runs from May 3 to September 15, 2013.
