Céleste Boursier-Mougenot

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot (b. 1961) is representing France this year in Venice, but his news does not stop there… He is also showing at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Lyon Biennial1. Boursier-Mougenot often integrates sound into his works and his remarkable Venice installation has pine trees resting on their roots, emitting strange sounds. Poetic and meditative, the installation is representative of an oeuvre that is still largely absent from the secondary market. Only one sculpture in wood (Untitled (39.5 x 50 cm)) has so far appeared at auction; that was in 2013, with a starting price of $650 and a sale price equivalent to $911.
