On the occasion of the second edition of Art Gstaad, the HELENE BAILLY gallery explores intimacy through a selection of major works.
In a warm and inviting space, discover a portrait wall that invites introspective contemplation. Two Tête d’homme by Picasso will engage in dialogue with a Tête de femme by Laurens, while a Portrait of Diego by Giacometti will explore the fraternal bond and pay tribute to the Giacometti brothers, iconic figures of Swiss art.
In the same desire to place the works within a personal and introspective dimension, the HELENE BAILLY gallery will present two remarkable Anamorphose by Sam Szafran.
The staircase motif, central to the artist’s work, serves as a reminder that while the artistic experience is an ascent, it remains above all an inner journey.
Finally, a collection of creations by Picasso, Giacometti, and the Lalanne brothers will enrich this experience. These works invite reflection on art on a smaller scale, integrated into the intimacy of everyday life.
A striking example is this unique piece that Claude Lalanne designed for her dearest friends: she invited them to imprint their lips on each half of an apple, which she then sealed forever with a leaf, transforming a fleeting gesture into a timeless work of art.
