Contemporary Six cordially invites you to: ‘Pierre Adolphe Valette - Art Botanique’, an exhibition of works by the French Impressionist.
This exhibition comprises a collection of floral designs by Valette for textiles. Created in the first half of the 20th century, these delicate blooms show the artist’s skill as a draughtsman. A number of works feature text by the artist; coding systems and colour palette studies - showing the hidden processes behind design manufacturing.
We would also like to give special thanks to Jonathan Hensher from the Department of French Studies at the University of Manchester for his translations of the annotations in the works.
The exhibition runs from 27th April - 18th May 2024.
The preview takes place on: 27th April at 10:30am - 5pm.
If you could please RSVP for the preview to: info@contemporarysix.co.uk
All works will be available to purchase online from Friday 26th at 5:00pm online.
We are most fortunate to have had Cecilia Lyon, the leading expert on Valette write about this collection of works. Please click the press release to view!
