Maison&Objet with PetriPaselli
Our first time presenting contemporary art at Maison & Objet, Paris
January 2023 was the first time ever we paired contemporary art with our European mid-century originals
Our stand for the January 2023 edition of Maison&Objet was largely focused on the human figure, with two opposite walls dedicated to anatomical teaching props and to the art series “Colorized Portraits” by PetriPaselli.
Also the time we presented one of our favorite catalogs ever!
It has PetriPaselli as Guest Curators and contains many images from The Empty House Project by Art Director Corina Jucan.
PetriPaselli (Luciano Paselli and Matteo Petri) are a Bologna-based artist duo. In 2021 we first invited them to work on a series of joint projects, one of which is a series of early to mid century colorized portraits gathered by All’Origine and selected by the artists. Ten of the selected portraits underwent a physical intervention by means of super-imposition of plastic toys in a clear thermoformed blister. The extensive selection of 99 colorized portraits are featured in the upcoming edition of PetriPaselli’s art magazine 99objects.
And on The Opposite Wall:
A collection of mid century anatomic models (both human and animal) and other teaching props, regarding plants, their inner structures, but also a few atomic and molecular models and more.
Peasant Pottery and Mid Century Ceramics in Rare Colors
Colorful Glass and Crystal from All Over Europe
Alongside many other early and mid century European glass objects – from our well consolidated “Assorted Glass” product category – we presented our largest ever collection of Bohemian art glass. Which we did expand on even further in following editions. But this was our firs fair after our first buying campaign in Bohemia where we now regularly select pieces by many of the glass masters of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s such as Pavel Hlava, Miroslav Klinger, Josef Hospodka and Rudolf Beranek!
