Biography
To celebrate our debut at PAD Paris, Waddington Custot presents work by two leading contemporary sculptors, Yves Dana and Sophia Vari. With a particular interest in sculptural form and volume, these artists draw on the visual language of ancient sculpture: variously from ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and pre-Columbian civilizations.
To accompany this presentation, Waddington Custot presents paintings by European Masters of the 20th century. Artists include Jean Hélion, whose retrospective exhibition at Musee d'Art Moderne runs until 18 August 2024.
Find us at Stand 42, Jardin des Tuileries, Paris, 3–7 April 2024
