Themed exhibitions are one of the features of the Parcours des Mondes. Following on from Hair, a display of combs and ornaments staged last year, resident dealer Yann Ferrandin will be presenting Prestige and Power. This exhibition in his rue de Seine Gallery is devoted to symbolic and utilitarian ceremonial objects serving as social markers.

Outlining the concept of his show, Ferrandin says: “Since time immemorial, tribal societies have associated an exceptional wealth and diversity of artistic creations with their practices of governance and their spiritual universes.
“These objects, reserved for use by chiefs, shamans or senior initiates, are very varied and they express conceptions of man himself as well as of relations between men.”
