Sculpture+ is an educational endowment fund based at the Musée Maillol. Dedicated to promoting sculpture in all its forms, it brings together patrons—both individuals and companies—who are passionate about art and culture.
Sculpture+ is launching an annual series of Hypotheses and Demonstrations, inviting museum professionals to share their experiences, reflections, and research with the public around a common theme.
This inaugural event will be moderated by Nathalie Bondil, Romain Perrin, Hélène Pinet, and Hélène Priego. Through their presentations, these four museum professionals will facilitate a discussion on this year’s theme: “The Sculptor and the Photographer.” During the morning session, the artists to be discussed will include Constantin Brancusi, Alberto Giacometti, Henri Matisse, Henry Moore, and Auguste Rodin.
