It hosts exquisite,
early Imperial Chinese stone and lacquer furniture and Chinese scholar
furniture from the Han Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, from 200 BC to the
17thC, juxtaposed with early Khmer sculptures from the 7th to the 13thC, and
international contemporary art by Zeng Fanzhi, Nobuyoshi Araki, Anish Kapoor,
Cristina Iglesias, and Adam Fuss.
Located in a former
Second World War telecommunications bunker that has been renovated by British
architect John Pawson, the institution encourages a conversation between
different periods and cultures, and offers a new perception of ancient art.
As part of a 7,350m2
space, The Feuerle Collection has two main exhibition halls, a Sound Room, a
Lake Room, and an Incense Room.
The Feuerle
Collection is the first art institution in the world to present the Chinese
Incense Culture. As one of China’s oldest traditions, dating back over 2,000
years, the Incense Ceremony is now presented as a contemporary art performance.
Désiré Feuerle, who
comes from a contemporary art background, owned a gallery in the nineties in
Cologne, Germany, where he pioneered juxtaposing ancient art with contemporary
and modern art, as well as re-looking at antiques from a contemporary perspective.
Sara Puig is Founder
of The Sara Puig Institute for the Arts and current President of the Fundació
Joan Miró, Barcelona, where she has been a Trustee since 2014. From 1998 to
2013, she was Director of Fundación Francisco Godia in Barcelona, Spain.
