Jeff Koons. Lobster, 2007-2012. mirror-polished stainless steel with transparent color coating. 57 7/8 x 37 x 18 7/8 inches ; 147 x 94 x 47,9 cm. Edition 1 from an edition of 3, plus artist’s proof. Pinault Collection © Jeff Koons, photo: Marc Domage/Courtesy Almine Rech Gallery This stainless steel lobster is one of the 20 items from the Pinault Collection that will be on show at MuCEM, all being well, from 19th May. The artist has chosen, in addition, 350 everyday items from the museum’s own collection with which his creations will ‘dialogue’.
‘Je suis tres fier de cette exposition, c’est un bijou’, Koons told the Marseille press conference from New York.
In a first, the whole exhibition will take place in daylight, that is without protective screens across the windows. I have seen one of the galleries like this and the sunshine streaming through the black lacy concrete casts wonderful patterns across the floors. Worth the price of admission I think!
Until 18th October.

Art in the South of France; the inside story
The South of France. Enchanted by the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the olive trees, poppies, irises and that dazzling light, artists found their creativity flourished under the hot sun. My new book takes you on a journey visiting museums and galleries as well as artists’ studios and their favourite painting spots. From Van Gogh in Arles, to Signac in Saint-Tropez; from Cézanne in Aix, over to Nice for Renoir and Matisse, the story unfolds of artists who knew each other and painted together in the warm south. Prepare too to meet colourful local artists who captured their beloved Provence for us to enjoy.
