The skincare firm Valmont is presenting this exhibition of contemporary art in Paris, dedicated to Ivo (its icon, the gorilla) and the Land of the Rising Sun. Part of a centuries-old heritage, just like "shodo" - the art of calligraphy -, contemporary art, design and architecture have undergone spectacular evolution over the past decades in Japan. Influential figures of international renown have left an indelible imprint on its art scene. Names such as Isamu Noguchi, a multidisciplinary artist of universal stature. And it is indeed to this essential cultural reference of the Rising Sun that "Ivo in Japan" pays tribute in its artworks. Jusqu’au 28 avril. Maison Valmont. Le Meurice. 6, rue de Castiglione. Paris 1er. (01 44 58 69 77)
