Virginie Manivet’s work was exhibited by the Galerie En Attendant les Barbares / Frédéric de Luca
Virginie Manivet’s work was exhibited by the Galerie En Attendant les Barbares, associated with the name of Frédéric de Luca, who in the 1980s and 1990s was one of the leading figures of French ‘new design’, alongside Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti. This porcelain vase embodies that spirit: a simple form serving as a backdrop for a free-spirited and colourful hand-painted design, which brings the utilitarian object closer to a work of art. An accessible testament to a Parisian scene that was then revitalising the decorative arts through imagination and artistic expression.
