From July 14th to 16th 2022, artmonte-carlo returns to the Grimaldi Forum Monaco under the Patronage of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco. Created by Thomas Hug, artmonte-carlo aims to offer art lovers a fair that combines contemporary art and design, as well as modern art. Organized in the continuity of artgenève, it has a similar desire to bring together all facets of art in one place, and to create synergies between collectors, galleries and institutions.
 
For this sixth edition, visitors are welcomed by a prestigious selection of sculptures on the esplanade of the Grimaldi Forum. In addition to the international galleries, they will be able to discover video installations from the Julia Stoschek Collection in Düsseldorf as well as a historical exhibition dedicated to Christian Louboutin.
 
During the vernissage, the Prix artmonte-carlo - F.P.Journe for the best exhibit exposed at the salon was awarded to Florentine & Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize, represented by the Laurent Godin Gallery, for their ceramic dolls. The winning artwork will be offered by F.P.Journe to the NMNM, the “Nouveau Musée National de Monaco”.
 
This year, the jury was composed of important figures of the institutional art world: Björn Dahlström (director of the NMNM), Eric Mangion (artistic director of Villa Arson in Nice) and Nicolas Bourriaud (exhibition curator, art critic and art historian). They had the delicate task of choosing the winner from among the 35 international exhibiting galleries.
 
Present since the first edition, F.P.Journe continues its commitment to the art world. This partnership is based on shared values such as authenticity, rarity and talent, whose first letters form the word "A.R.T.". An acronym that symbolizes the strong link uniting the Journe Manufacture and artmonte-carlo.
