Exhibition view – Thermopylae by Cy Twombly, 1991 at Pièce Unique
We knew the trend for “single product” shops, specializing in a single commodity: honey, jam, olive oil, unique pastries (eclairs or choux or mochis) and what if now it was culture’s turn?
The Italian art dealer Massimo de Carlo – well known in the sector, he has two addresses in Milan, one in London and another in Hong Kong – has just opened “Pièce unique”, a gallery which only exhibits one work at a time.

At 57 rue de Turenne, the place, which opened its doors last February, exhibits large-format works – only one at a time, therefore – which sit in majesty, facing the street, for the greatest pleasure citizents.
The eye is caught by the works of international contemporary artists who appear here every three weeks. The American Kaari Uppson, her compatriot Mc Arthur Binion and the Italian Rudolph Stingel will soon be succeeded (from May 4 to June 4) by Andy Warhol with a monumental painting representing Lucio Amelio.
The latter is none other than the creator of the “Unique Piece” concept, inaugurated 32 years ago, on the left bank of Paris, 4, rue Jacques-Callot, in the 6th, where the big names in contemporary art were exhibited. The gallery owner Massimo de Carlo has just purchased this unique concept from the rights holders, the “Unique Piece” brand having been registered.
The story continues in le Marais, not far from the Picasso museum, and on the route of the other essential galleries in the district: Thaddeus Ropac, Emmanuel Perrotin, David Zwirner, Karsten Greve, Yvon Lambert, Maria Lund, Maria Wettergren. Covid or not, le Marais apparently continues to be popular.

Heritage Days 2024: the secrets of the Marais
Le Marais, an architectural showcase of historic Paris, is preparing to reveal its hidden treasures during the 2024 Heritage Days. This district, once a marshland that became a stronghold of the nobility in the XNUMXth century, is home to an exceptional density of private mansions and historic buildings, silent witnesses to the splendor of yesteryear.
Private cruise on the Seine: a perfect moment
Like the Olympic athletes at the opening ceremony, Le Marais Mood embarked on a cruise on the Seine. But for a private cruise, in a small group (six passengers), with champagne on tap. This is what Green River Cruises offers for 450 euros for a one and a half hour cruise.
