The Masis Collection is one of the most comprehensive privately owned assemblages of pocket watches in the world. Focusing on the watch as a work of art, it encompasses over four hundred years of the watchmaker’s, enameller’s, and goldsmith’s craft. Featuring some of the earliest surviving portable timepieces, the collection includes watches that can be considered among the greatest European miniature works of art ever created. A lush and diverse collection, it is particularly rich in examples of gloriously painted Geneva enamels, particularly those of the Huaud family working in the Baroque period. Its strength also lies in the breathtakingly beautiful enamel watches made for export to China and Turkey in the early years of the nineteenth century.
Written by renowned watch specialist Richard Chadwick, A Voyage Through Time takes the reader on a journey through the development of the mechanical watch, showing how the artistic progression of watch case decoration moved hand in hand with the styles of larger European artistic movements. Lavishly illustrated with more than two hundred full-color images, the book is a rich exploration of masterpieces in watchmaking through the centuries.

Catalogue de l'exposition présentée au Petit Palais, Paris, du 14 octobre 2022 au 29 janvier 2023. Le Petit Palais présente, pour la première fois en France, une grande rétrospective dédiée au peintre anglais Walter Sickert (1860-1942) conçue en partenariat avec la Tate Britain. Cet artiste résolument moderne, aux sujets énigmatiques et souvent déstabilisants, est peu présent dans les collections françaises. Pourtant, Sickert tisse des liens artistiques et amicaux avec de nombreux artistes français et importe en Angleterre une manière de peindre très influencée par ses séjours parisiens. Cette exposition est l'occasion de (re)découvrir cet artiste si singulier qui eut un impact décisif sur la peinture figurative anglaise, notamment sur Lucian Freud.

Phaidon, 2022
The first monograph on the work of celebrated and influential Kenyan-American artist Wangechi Mutu. Wangechi Mutu's remarkable body of work touches on such issues as sexuality, ecology, politics, and the rhythms and chaos that govern the world. Her paintings, sculptures, and collages, often enriched with culturally-charged materials including tea, synthetic hair, Kenyan soil, feathers, and sand, interweave fact with fiction, generating a unique form of myth-making that sets her apart from classical history or popular culture. This is the first book to document her evolution and explore her impact.
