This encounter highlights the lasting influence of tribal arts and their mythological imagination on his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Movement and Balance<\/em>, metal\u2014Hiquily\u2019s material of choice\u2014becomes the medium for an exploration of dynamics and formal freedom. His weathervanes, fountains, and mechanisms\u2014whether rudimentary or sophisticated\u2014reflect an inheritance from the great masters of iron, such as Julio Gonz\u00e1lez and Alexander Calder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The section <em>The Female Body<\/em> examines one of the guiding threads of his creation: the female figure. Mother goddesses and stylized silhouettes, animated by simple gestures, embody a vision that is at once archaic and forward-looking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this exhibition, Artcurial celebrates not only the centenary of a major artist but also the invention of a singular sculptural language\u2014free, poetic, and deeply engaged with matter, the body, and movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of the centenary of Philippe Hiquily\u2019s birth (1925\u20132013), Artcurial pays tribute to this great master of contemporary sculpture with an exceptional exhibition, presented from September 10 to 30, 2025, in conjunction with Parcours des Mondes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17093,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[545],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-off-site"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16563"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16563\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16565,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16563\/revisions\/16565"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preprod.galerieloft.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
