A la Bourse de Commerce, François Pinault partage sa passion pour l’art de son temps. Jusqu’au 11 septembre 2023, l’exposition « Avant l’orage » est à l’heure du dérèglement climatique. Les œuvres interpellent sur l’urgence écologique. L’immense tableau de Frank Bowling nous accueille avec un cri d’alerte. La terre semble s’embraser. Notre maison brûle et l’exposition nous empêche de regarder ailleurs. L’être humain dépend de la nature qui l’entoure. Il s’acharne pourtant à la détruire. Avec poésie, Robert Gober fait couler une source d’eau à l’intérieur d’une veste de costume. D’autres vidéos nous livrent une vision apocalyptique. Diana Thater, avec Chernobyl, filme in situ les conséquences de la catastrophe nucléaire. Dans une maison sombre de la zone abandonnée de Fukushima, Pierre Huygue suit l’errance d’un être mutant ; un singe déguisé en femme. Sous nos yeux médusés, Hicham Berrada reproduit la destruction des coraux. Quelques artistes se penchent sur le cycle de la vie ; message d’espoir ou défi lancé aux hommes ? Danh Vo joue avec la rotonde et expose des branches d’arbres coupées à côté de sculptures faites en bois. Un polyptyque de Cy Twombly évoque la course immuable du soleil tandis que les délicates branches de Steegmann Mangrané traduisent la fragile renaissance de la nature. Laissez-vous porter par la beauté brute des œuvres et la grâce du lieu. Vous cherchez votre prochaine exposition ?

Paris Bourse de Commerce - Three Centuries: Three Roles

François Pinault seems like a decent billionaire. No great crime behind the great fortune. He ran his father’s wood trading company and started buying and fixing other related companies, then kept buying and fixing; retail, fine wine, luxury brands. He now owns Galeries Lafayette, Fnac, Chateau Latour, Christies, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci and many others. 

The boy from Brittany did well. His son now runs the businesses and Pinault Senior focuses on his billion dollar contemporary art collection. But billionaires don’t buy art to go on the dining room wall. Art collections on this scale are delivered to Free Trade Zones to avoid sales taxes, held in complex trusts, and exhibited and shared by a web of non-profit foundations. Pinault has a warehouse in Switzerland and already had two major museums in Venice before leasing the Bourse de Commerce in Paris.

This lovely cylindrical building was constructed in 1767 as a Wheat Exchange; the wheat from the plains around Paris was stored in the granary in the attic and the interior courtyard was used for haggling and trading. The beautifully elegant double helix stone stairs are still there that allowed porters going up to avoid the porters coming down. Labour was cheap.

A hundred years later, the place was too small to store the wheat for two million Parisians and the building was assigned to the commodities exchange - the Bourse de Commerce. The restored murals around the rotunda show their vision of France as a global trader on all points of the compass, and the entrance door is topped by statues showing the City of Paris flanked by Trade and Abundance. The whole thing exudes confidence and arrogance.

The building served that role for another hundred years until all the markets were replaced by the digital trading platform, Euronext, in1998. Not so confident and arrogant now.

In 2015, Paris then leased the building to Francois Pinault for another century to house part of his collection of contemporary art. The re-imagining of the space by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, a man the same age as Pinault, is truly spectacular with a massive new concrete circular gallery in the centre.

The entire history of the building has brought together the finest artists, architects, and engineers for over 200 years.

As for the art collection? The main floor was given over to projects by Anri Sala with a massive video installation in the core of the building that contrasts with the 19th century murals and metal and glass dome. The display of selected works from Pinault’s collection is far less interesting except for the animated mouse having an identity crisis by Ryan Gander.
