The Exhibition

Artistes à la Une, Togeth'Her
Exposition du 4 juin au 4 juillet 2021

This artistic project, part of the celebration of Madame Figaro's 40th birthday, aims to showcase women who are resolutely committed to causes or who, in their daily lives, move the world in all sectors (artistic, associative, political, scientific, sports, etc.).

In 2020, 26 artists will create portraits of 26 exceptional women. Once completed, these works (format 67.5×52.5 cm, vellum paper) will be framed and placed under a glass (engraved with the logo of Madame Figaro) thus recalling in a homothetic format the iconic front page of the famous magazine created in 1980.

L’exposition de ces 26 œuvres originales se tiendra dans le cadre extraordinaire de la Monnaie de Paris du 4 juin au 4 juillet 2021. Située sur les quais entre le musée du Louvre et l’École des Beaux Arts de Paris, l’institution a accueilli depuis sa réouverture des centaines de milliers de visiteurs et les plus grandes rétrospectives de Maurizio Cattelan à Kiki Smith, de Paul McCarthy à Subodh Gupta, de Grayson Perry à Louise Bourgeois.

A catalog of the exhibition with photos of the works, interviews with the artists and the women portrayed, as well as a presentation of the cause defended, will be published by Madame Figaro as an elegant special edition. More than 100,000 copies will be printed and sent to each Paris Region subscriber and distributed to all the newsstands in the same area.

This exhibition will be powerfully relayed in the streets of Paris, in the metro and in Parisian train stations via the media facilities made available by the partners, as in 2019, and will have national and international media coverage (press, social networks, sites, etc.).

At the end of the exhibition, an auction sale of the works will be organized by the famous auction house Artcurial, on the occasion of a online auction qui aura lieu du 30 juin au 6 juillet 2021. Les bénéfices de cette vente seront reversés aux causes caritatives soutenues par les femmes d’exception.
