The Swiss Surrendic painter and painter Alberto Giakomei will have a new museum at a previous train station in Paris after fears of the transfer of the largest group of his work in the world abroad, and the Jiakumi Foundation will reside the museum and is scheduled to open in 2026.
Jiakomi’s work is located at the Jiacumi Institute, the Art Deco Palace in the 14th Circle in Paris, near the Monbranas Studio, where the artist who died in 1966 lived and worked for 40 years.
The institute contains 95 paintings, 260 bronze pieces, 550 gypsum templates and thousands of drawings and engraving, in addition to a comprehensive archive of the artist’s documents and part of his library, but it does not contain enough space in its current location to display all of them.
Catherine Greener, director of the institute, said that the new building will provide 6000 square meters from the previous train station near Les Invalides, opposite the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs to display business and develop other projects.
“We will have a really great and wonderful space that we will have enough space to present the Giacumi group in addition to temporary exhibitions and our project for a technical school,” she told the French newspaper Le Monde.
Catherine Greener continued that the wife of the artist “Ante”, who died in 1993, wanted his group to remain in Paris, adding that “it was not difficult for the institution to find a place to move to, even outside France, we really did not think about it, but others thought a lot about the matter Even if we did not find a place, it was not certain that we would have been in the same place indefinitely. ”
