Thinking to the future: Galerie Perrotin pays homage to Pierre Paulin
In the pages of a recent monograph on Pierre Paulin, the French designer admitted, ‘I designed a number of objects that were too complex and met no response whatsoever from the public – whether it was too early or they scratched where it didn’t itch. I do not really know.’ A new exhibition at Galerie Perrotin, which anticipates a comprehensive retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in May, promises to elicit the opposite reaction. This owes in part to a dynamic arrangement of Paulin pieces, surrounded by works from other contemporary artists including Xavier Veilhan, KAWS, Elmgreen & Dragset and Jesús Rafael Soto.
