Introduction of work
- Le Pot
- Jean-Pierre Raynaud/ France (created in 2007)
The Pot in Gwangalli, Busan, by Jean-Pierre Raynaud, one of France’s contemporary artists, is
the largest of all his pot works produced until now.
Since 1960, when the artist began to work on art as a motif that has continued to appear in his works, his pots have transformed in various ways over time and according to location.
As seen from his work of pots erected on the white marble pedestal installed in front of the Center Pompidou, Paris in 1998, for over 40 years the artist has transformed the symbolic pots into his unique and powerful artistic symbol by taking objects in daily reality and bringing them into the art world.
