The question of movement has always been an integral part of Philippe HIQUILY's work. In the tradition of the mobiles and fountains he produced from the late 1950s, in 1963 he created a trio of monumental 12-meter weather vanes installed on the beach in Elviria (Marbella, Spain). He reinterpreted them more than 30 years later when he was commissioned by the city of Shanghai to create a monumental project for the 2010 World Expo. Given the success of this work, the artist conceived a series of weather vanes the following year, including the Girouette Hiver (Winter Weather Vane), which was made at a height of 5 meters.<\/p>\n
Faced with these kinetic works, our relationship with sculpture is completely overturned. The aesthetic experience is no longer lived through contemplation alone, but rather through participation. The artist invites us to play with the work, thumbing our noses at the \u00abdo not touch\u00bb rules established in cultural institutions.<\/p>\n
By integrating the Art For All collection alongside the Marathonienne and the Epicurienne, this Weather Vane is available in an accessible 18 cm tall format while retaining the poetry and magic of its monumental equivalent and, more than ever, its playful essence.<\/p>\n
