Intoxicating art and beautiful perfumes at Guerlain
Taking its title from a line of poetry by Musset, the famous perfume house based its contemporary art exhibition on the idea of intoxication. We didn’t need asking twice, and headed off to the Champs Elysees to see what it was all about.
Surrounded by beautiful vintage bottles, with champagne flowing freely and a heady fragrance muddling the air, the exhibition aimed to evoke the feelings of flight, euphoria and come-down of drunkenness. There were some though provoking (and weird) works by artists including Gilbert + George, Daniel Firman and Katherine Bernhardt.
An intriguing and fun evening as we did our best to test the theory of artistic intoxication…
