MIART 2021 Jan Fabre
Booth D 53-59
17 – 19 september 2021

Il Ponte is taking part in Miart 2021 with a solo show dedicated to Jan Fabre.
We present a self-portrait from 1988 (a large Cibachrome print, unique piece) and three large works on paper in watercolour and Bic pen from the early 1990s.
These are accompanied by splendid beetle sculptures from the 1990s, amongst which a rare Mur de la Montée des Anges, one of his all-time classic figures, the suits of armour displayed in the large exhibition at the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg (Jan Fabre: Knight of Despair / Warrior of Beauty) from 2016 and the Salvator Mundi exhibited in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio on occasion of the Jan Fabre. Spiritual Guards show the same year.
Galleria Il Ponte dedicated the Knight of the Night exhibition to Jan Fabre in 2015.
