Headed up by Artcurial, the principality is transforming into an open-air gallery over the summer. From Niki de Saint Phalle to C\u00e9sar and Robert Combas to Rony Cragg, the sculptures going to auction on 22 July will be on display until the end of August. SoBARNES takes an artistic stroll.<\/h4>\n

Artcurial has been holding its summer sales on The Rock for almost twenty years now. After the success of the inaugural Monaco Sculptures in 2019, the Parisian auction house is doing it all over again in 2021, taking art lovers on an original journey through the Principality to meet the greatest names of the 20th<\/sup> and 21st<\/sup> century. Open to the public and free of charge, this itinerary holds its own against some of the world\u2019s greatest museums and promises plenty of surprises, from Bernard Venet\u2019s monumental Arc <\/em>next to the Casino to Philippe Hiquily's La Femme Lune<\/em>, which stands 6 metres tall in front of the H\u00f4tel Hermitage, and the delightful Adam et Eve <\/em>sculpted by Niki de Saint Phalle.<\/p>\n
