Contemporary art encompasses many themes. It is a living art, always expanding. Because it is modern, it must integrate all the major developments of our time.
This is why if we talk about sculpture , we will mainly talk about new techniques.
If we talk about design , we will talk about new materials.
If we talk about a work, we will talk about a digital work.
What are the modern art galleries in Paris that you absolutely must discover?
Precisely to make great discoveries that we don’t make elsewhere?
