One year after the controversy surrounding the Koons exhibition in Versailles, it is the turn of the French visual artist Xavier Veilhan to invest the castle and its gardens. The artist has developed a whole work around symmetry and space in this mythical place, a work that proves the possible harmony between contemporary art and historical heritage. Yesterday, the inauguration of this exceptional event was the occasion of an equally exceptional (and extremely private…) opening.
