Artists

Hervé Di Rosa

Press release

As the heir to a story ranging from the Dada movement through to punk rock, taking in Jean Dubuffet and CoBrA, French artist Hervé Di Rosa (born in 1959 in Sète) has consistently questioned the legitimacy of artistic hierarchy and the absolutism of "fine art". An essential figure in 1980s Figuration libre, he was also an avid collector. Part of his collection of Modest Arts is exhibited in the permanent collection at the International Museum of Modest Arts (Miam) established in 2000 in Sète by Hervé Di Rosa and Bernard Belluc. 

The exhibition features around 30 works providing an eloquent overview of the artist’s career, thanks especially to the artist’s significant donation in 2013 and the loaning of several recent works.
