A curation by Rita Cerciello, Founder & Senior Curator at Independent Art Advisory - Time is the great sculptor," wrote Marguerite Yourcenar in her renowned essays. This selection of 29 works is an aesthetic pilgrimage through the layers of memory and the persistence of beauty. Inspired by the literary depth of the first woman elected to the Académie Française, this curation explores the dialogue between the ephemeral and the eternal. Opening with the gilded, contemplative stillness of Brigitte Dravet's Voyage immobile, we seek the "human trace" in the stone and the silent breath of ruins. From the monumental presence of AirDaryal’s Sfinge II to the intricate embroideries of Alessandro Delsere, the "beauty of the past" is not a relic, but a living force. This is a sanctuary where time finally ceases its erosion to become pure form.
