Jean-Michel
Attal, Collector, said: “It is incredibly important to me that my collection
can be viewed and enjoyed by the public, and I am thrilled that by
collaborating with Phillips in Paris we can make this possible. The exhibition has been organised with great
professionalism and sensitivity to the artists’ works and the identity of my
collection.”
Clara
Rivollet, International Specialist of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, and Nathalie
Zaquin-Boulakia, International Specialist, 20th Century & Contemporary Art,
said: “Representing the collection of Jean-Michel
Attal during the week of FIAC is an
exciting moment for us, as collectors are an indispensable and often
under-represented link in the art ecosystem. Jean-Michel Attal has been a
passionate collector for several decades and we admire his discerning eye and
endless curiosity, as well as his dedication to the French contemporary art
scene. This is the first of a series of ‘Carte Blanche’ events which Phillips
Paris will undertake to showcase collectors’ vision, aligning with our
commitment to deepening our presence on the Parisian Contemporary Art scene through
engaging exhibitions and collaborations.”
