Une curation de Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager chez Galerie Lo Scalo – Porcelain in art embodies a fascinating paradox between absolute refinement and extreme fragility, serving as a powerful metaphor for human vulnerability and the ephemerality of wealth. Historically celebrated in the precise still-life traditions of the Flemish and Delft schools, this "white gold" carries psychological associations of domestic intimacy and precious preservation. Since 1950, contemporary creators have radically subverted this historical material. The renowned artist Jeff Koons elevated kitsch into high art with his monumental porcelain sculpture Michael Jackson and Bubbles (1988), testing the boundaries of taste and material prestige. Similarly, Ai Weiwei famously critiqued mass production and cultural value by filling the Tate Modern with millions of handcrafted ceramic pieces in Sunflower Seeds (2010). In photography, the world-famous Martin Klimas brilliantly captures the material's structural tension in his dynamic high-speed series Porcelain Figurines (2006), documenting the explosive, fleeting moment of impact. This selection explores porcelain as a living site of memory, rupture, and enduring beauty.
