Antony's exhibition in la galerie du jour in Paris

Ghost by Antony Hegarty
There was a time when I was totally obsessed by Antony. Antony remains one of my favourite artists and I am really happy to post this article on the exhibition he will have in Paris at la galerie du jour, agnès b's space.

We knew that Antony took the fashion designer's hat for a special dress he made but we didn't really know he was a visual artist. Burnt drawings, and other artworks are exhibited are part of the show. The main difference this time - the exhibition was previously displayed at galerie Isis in London - is that Antony collaborated with three other artists. Hs artworks' are juxtaposed with works from American photographer Peter Hujar, Kiki Smith and new york photographs by Alice O'Mailley.

The show will open on 7 April at galerie du Jour, in Paris and will be followed by two concert of the genius at Le Grand Rex.
