In Images: The Yerres Sculpture Biennial

For its 4th edition the Yerres Sculpture Biennial (Caillebotte property, 9 April – 10 July 2016) has brought together the works of 33 modern and contemporary artists under the theme “the body of sculpture.”

Along side the works of Rodin, Zadkine, Giacometti or Dubuffet visitors can admire the works of young contemporary artists like Lea Dumayet, Stephane Vigny, Lea Klein or NourAsalya: a conversation between rising artists and the great masters set out in three different sites on the Caillebotte property – the park, the orangery and the adorned farm – and which defines sculpture as ” an encounter, an exchange ” between individuals (Paul-Louis Rinuy, the Biennial commissioner).
