You don't see a giant rhinocerus on top of the Grimaldi Forum every day but then you don't have an exhibition called 'Extra Large' in Monaco everyday. The exhibition presents 50 monumental paintings, sculptures and installations from the Centre Pompidou in Paris and will be on show at the Grimaldi Forum until the 9th September.
From CityOutMonaco (click to see a video) : 'The exhibition includes large-format paintings by Joan Miró, Jean
Dubuffet, Matta, Joan Mitchell, Jacques Monory, Pierre Soulages, Frank
Stella, Sam Francis, and Yan Pei-Ming; and sculptures and installations
by Joseph Beuys, Christian Boltanski, Daniel Buren, Richard Long, Alain
Séchas and Jean Tinguely. Also represented will be the work of Sol
LeWitt, Anish Kapoor and Bill Viola - all masterpieces linked by one
unusual factor - their sheer monumental size.'The first photo was taken from inside the Japanese Gardens.
Can't wait to visit the exhibition!
