The venerable French Conceptualist Bernar Venet has struck a chord with the Hong Kong art world.
Nice is more than just a large city in France – it's also a major Riviera resort. With its prime location on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea it was only a matter of time before people fled the cold climate of northern Europe for the sun and surf of the Côte d'Azur. In the 19th century Nice became an important seaside resort for tourists, especially those from England and Russia, and the famous Promenade des Anglais, Walkway of the English, was built by these English tourists. Baie des Anges, Bay of Angels, Nice The Promenade des Anglais stretches for four miles along the Baie des Anges, Bay of Angels, from Castle Hill in the east to Nice Airport in the west. The Promenade des Anglais extends from Castle Hill... ... along the Baie des Anges... ... as far as Nice Airport. Promenade des Anglais, Walkway of the English Neuf Lignes Obliques, Nine Oblique Lines, by Bernar Venet Palm Trees Line the Promenade des Anglais Swimmers and sun seekers can choose between the free public beaches and the pricey (but much more comfortable) private beaches along the Baie des Anges, Bay of Angels. There's no sand in Nice, just a long stretch of smooth pebbles. Public Beach Private Beach, Plage Beau Rivage The Pebble Beach of Nice On a free day I spent some down time relaxing at our hotel's private beach, the Plage Beau Rivage. Use of a lounger for a full day costs €20 plus €5 for an umbrella (which can be shared between two loungers). Add another €5 to the tab if you want a lounger in a prime front row spot. Plage Beau Rivage Empty Loungers Await the Day's First Beach Goers Front Row View I had dinner at the Plage Beau Rivage restaurant on my first night in Nice – a delicious Niçois ravioli made with incredibly light pasta. With our group's table mere feet away from the rolling Mediterranean surf, I watched planes flying into the sunset as they began their descent into the airport. My visit to France was off to a great start. Dining on the Beach at Plage Beau Rivage Niçois Ravioli Chocolate Gelato Sunset Over the Baie des Anges SaveSave
This etching comes from the portfolio "Combinaison Aleatoire de Lignes Indeterminees" by French sculptor and artist Bernar Venet. Throughout his career, Venet moved from action painting into a more logical, mathematical style influenced by Minimalism. In this series of six aquatint etchings, the viewer can see both free movement and that logical Minimalist style. This piece is signed and numbered 6/90 in pencil. It measures 19.5 x 20 inches and is in excellent condition.

Nine Straight Lines, Bernar Venet (2010). Conçu pour le 150e anniversaire du référendum soigneusement truqué ayant permis l'annexion de Nice par l'Empire français, ce pot de vin payé par les Italiens pour construire leur pays sans qu'on leur explose la tronche (ah, c'est pas comme ça qu'on en parle dans les manuels scolaires ?), il s'agit d'une des plus grandes structures d'art public de France, avec 30 m de hauteur et 75 t d'acier cor-ten. Très chouette dans la lumière du matin, ceci dit.

A pioneer of conceptual art in New York in the late 1960s, Bernar Venet talks about changing the history of art, his friendships with artists whose works he collects and his ambitions for the Venet Foundation, which opened its doors in southeastern France on July 12, 2014.
Jannis Kounellis (1936–2017), namhafter Pionier der Arte Povera und mehrfacher documenta-Teilnehmer, wird hier mit raumgreifenden Installationen in Stahl, Stein, Stoff und Kohle vorgestellt. Er zelebriert alltägliche, „arme“ Materialien, die als Reminiszenzen des untergehenden Industriezeitalters gelten können. „Eisen und Kohle“, äusserte der Künstler 1989, „stellen für mich die Materialien dar, die am besten die Welt der industriellen Revolution und damit die Ursprünge der heutigen Kultur widerspiegeln.“ Seine archaisch anmutenden Werke werden durch aktuelle künstlerische Positionen von Ayşe Erkmen, Anselm Kiefer, Michael Sailstorfer, Sun Xun, Timm Ulrichs und Bernar Venet ergänzt. Sie alle greifen die Kohle als Motiv und Inhaltsträger auf. With his large-scale installations, Jannis Kounellis – pioneer of Arte Povera – celebrated ‘poor’ materials as reminiscences of the waning age of industrialism. ‘For me, iron and coal are materials that best reflect the world of the industrial revolution and, with this, the origins of contemporary culture.’ (Kounellis 1989) His works are complemented here by more recent artists, including, among others, Ayşe Erkmen, Anselm Kiefer, Michael Sailstorfer and Bernar Venet.

Doubles Lignes indéterminées, Bernar Venet (1988). Comme son nom l'indique, il s'agit de deux lignes enchevêtrées. Là encore, je me suis promené à l'intérieur et les gens me regardaient comme si je commettais un sacrilège. On a trop de révérence pour l'art, parfois.
