Pharrell & Emmanuel: an artistic bromance at its peak

Back in 2007, in Miami. Pharrell Williams and Emmanuel Perrotin crossed paths and discovered a shared admiration for the Japanese art scene driven by Takashi Murakami. This arty complicity gave rise to a fruitful artistic relationship, resulting in avant-garde projects such as Perspectives (2008) and G I R L (2014), inspired by Pharrell's iconic album.

With FEMMES, they honor the women who have marked the singer's life - wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, muses - by showcasing the work ofAfro-descendant artists of all generations. Deeply inspired by black women, Pharrell makes their plural and nuancedrepresentation the common thread running through the exhibition.
