If you love theart of Jean Dubuffet, and in particular his Jardin d'Hiver, a grotto integrated into the Centre Pompidou, then head to the village of Périgny-sur-Yerres, in the Val-de-Marne, for the Journées du Patrimoine 2023. On a plot of land near his studio, in the middle of nowhere, the artist built his Closerie Falbala, listed as a historic monument in November 1998.
The all-white structure is impressive in both size and execution. The artist, who was over 70 at the time of construction, had wanted to build a study close to his studio, a sort of"philosophical exercise room"as he called it. So he built a villa 20 meters long, 15 meters wide and 8 meters high. Inside is an Antichambre, which leads to Dubuffet 'sCabinet Logologique .
Jean Dubuffet then built a 1,600 m² concrete maze around his villa, with white menhirs and winding paths to keep the curious away. His aim was to isolate himself from his neighbors. The Falbala closerie was completed in 1976! The installation can be visited all year round, and includes a tour of the artist's former studios, where many of his works are preserved, including the model of the work that was destined for Renault Boulogne-Billancourt.
Intrigued by this mysterious building transformed into a work of art? Then come and discover it free of charge on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th September 2023. Guided tours of La Closerie and Villa Falbala are organized on the occasion of the Journées du Patrimoine. Please note that these tours are subject to registration and availability.
