Unanimously hailed, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco’s major summer event in 2022 has remained etched in our memories. Christian Louboutin, L’Exhibition(niste) Chapter II surprised, amazed and out of place!
With this unprecedented subject in its programming, the Grimaldi Forum offered the public this year a celebration of art through the eyes of a contemporary creator, the shrewd and joyful Christian Louboutin. Far from a classic retrospective, the route of the exhibition was conceived as a joyful odyssey through three decades of overflowing creativity, imbued with curiosity for all cultures and all arts, giving to see in the Espace Ravel, over 2000 m2, astonishing pieces of craftsmanship and art in all its forms, by great signatures or anonymous, from painting to sculpture, including the performing arts, architecture or even the cinema and revealing the many Monegasque inspirations of the creator drawn in particular from the Oceanographic Museum and the NMNM.
