Showing – Xavier Veilhan ‘Le Grand Mobile’ @ at Andréhn-Schiptjenko - Sweden

This month Scandinavia’s Andréhn-Schiptjenko Gallery is showing a work by French artist, Xavier Veilhan at Art Basel's Art Unlimited. Le Grand Mobile is a piece which does exactly what it says on the tin and, perhaps unsurprisingly, is reported to be Veilhan’s largest work. Consisting of 25 big, black, shiny spheres, the installation covers a massive 440 square metres and hangs high above the floor. This is the first time Le Grand Mobile has appeared with Andréhn-Schiptjenko at Art Basel, however, it previously exhibited at the Bienal de Valencia, while a motorized version was planned for the Pompidou Centre.

Xavier Veilhan's 'Le Grand Mobile' is showing at Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Art Unlimited, Art Basel 37, from 14th June - 18th June.
