After Joana Vasconcelos in 2012, it is now the Italian Giuseppe Penone who has the honor to imagine a major exhibition at Versailles.
First associated with the movement of Arte Povera, which brings together designers making use of cheap materials to reflect on the relationship between nature and culture, the artist develops his works from natural elements such as wood and stone.
Following the theme that is so dear to him, that of the shaft, Giuseppe Penone made twenty bronze sculptures, punctuating the long walk from the Royal driveway of the Grand Canal to the castle. The Grove of the Star receives "forest " of Works.
An impressive array that takes place in a perfect natural setting, closely affecting the desire of the artist to engage nature and culture.
