Programme
Rashid Johnson
Following his major retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, Rashid Johnson takes over the Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium at Château La Coste with an exhibition of paintings, sculptures and film. The artist presents new bronze sculptures created especially for the estate. Drawing on personal and cultural histories, his work explores human connection, collective rituals and solidarity. In dialogue with Oscar Niemeyer’s modernist architecture and the surrounding Provençal landscape, the exhibition reflects on community, shared experience and the power of coming together.
Sheree Hovsepian
Sheree Hovsepian presents a new exhibition at the Renzo Piano Pavilion, featuring three monumental sculptures—the most ambitious of her career to date. Working across photography, painting, drawing, assemblage and sculpture, her practice explores identity, perception and transformation. Created specifically for Piano’s light-filled underground pavilion, the works engage in a subtle dialogue with the architecture through contrasts of mass and void, intimacy and monumentality. At Château La Coste, sculpture becomes a spatial language shaped by light, architecture and the surrounding landscape.
Rashid, Sheree and Friends
Extending the spirit of partnership outward, Rashid Johnson and Sheree Hovsepian co-curate Rashid, Sheree and Friends, a group exhibition presented in the Galerie Richard Rogers. Featuring works by over sixteen artists—details to be announced—the exhibition brings together close friends and long-standing artistic peers. Emerging from the couple’s shared commitment to dialogue and mutual support, the exhibition foregrounds community as both subject and structure. Rather than following a single thematic framework, it offers a space shaped by relationships, generosity, and the belief that artistic practice is sustained through networks of care and exchange.
Julian Schnabel
Always in search of new forms of expression, Julian Schnabel invites us here to experience the intensity of the gaze—directed as much toward art as toward the world. Conceived as a focused yet ambitious journey, the exhibition brings together a rare selection of his most emblematic works, chosen in dialogue with his friend and longtime collaborator Donatien Grau. Spanning the entirety of his career, this presentation offers a unique opportunity to measure the consistency of his inventiveness and the radical freedom of his visual language.
