PHILIPPE HIQUILY
1925 - 2013
Is a French artist, sculptor, but also creator of furniture, jewelry, prints and experimental kinetic and electronic works. His work is mainly focused on games of forms and balances and the “coupling” of sculptures and objects. Whether they are made of iron, brass or steel, stable or mobile, small or monumental, his sculptures all have the same principle: art must be funny, fun and aesthetic. Movements, curves and materials are all ways of giving life to metal metamorphosed into a support for eroticism. From New York to Paris, this lover of women, protege of Germaine Richier, friend of Arman and César knew how to change the way we look at sculpture throughout his life.
