In the autumn of 2010 and for
the first time in France, lille3000 will
present more than 60 works from
the contemporary art collection of
the London based Saatchi Gallery,
assembled for the exhibition entitled
“La Route de la Soie” [The Silk Road].
A reference to the ancient trade
routes between Asia and Europe
which linked in particular China
and the Middle East via India from
the 2nd century before Christ…
Three regions whose contemporary
works of art arouse every day
increasing interest in the international
art world. The exhibition will offer an
extensive view of this recent artistic
work through paintings, sculptures,
photographs and installations of
Chinese, Indian, Iranian, Palestinian,
Lebanese, Egyptian, Afghan
and Pakistani artists.
SAATCHI GALLERY
founded by Charles Saatchi
in 1985, supports the work of young and largely
unseen artists, and displays rarely exhibited work by
international names. The Saatchi Gallery has had a
major influence on the international contemporary
art scene. Over the last two and a half decades
its pioneering exhibitions have showcased
work by over 200 artists and provided a unique
springboard for young unknowns to bring their
work to a wider audience, launch their careers and,
as with the likes of Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons.
