Fifty works by Jean-Michel Othoniel, from his personal collection, are exhibited at the Carré sainte-Anne in Montpellier.
Catalogue de l'exposition Géométries amoureuses de Jean-Michel Othoniel, présentée au Carré Sainte-Anne, Montpellier (10 juin - 24 septembre 2017). Le Centre Régional d’Art Contemporain Occitanie/Pyrénées-Méditerranée, à Sète présente un autre volet de l’exposition aux mêmes dates.
As part of the exhibition, the Carré sainte-Anne publishes a box containing two books: one tome on the exhibited works that the artist has kept since the 1990s, when he began working with glass; and another on the installation designed specifically for the venue.
For Othoniel, being part of his own collection goes hand-in-hand with a desire to remove himself from the world; foregoing his reticence and showing this collection of his work to the public is part of the ambiva-
lence of feelings that the artist places at the heart of his work.
