With its 5,000 sq. ft. in the heart of Shefford Mountain, L'Observatoire is a contemporary setting for a permanent exhibition that mirrors an era; it is this quest for the beautiful, the great and the historic that guides the singular collector behind this project, François Rochon, towards the artists of his time, here and abroad.
The Observatory presents an overview of the Giverny Capital Collection, bringing together the work of some forty renowned artists including Richard Long, Rodney Graham, Ron Terada, Sophie Calle, Michael Snow, William Kentridge, Julia Dault, Doris Salcedo, Anne Truitt, Roni Horn, Olafur Eliasson, Nicolas Baier, Pierre Dorion, Jocelyne Aloucherie, Edmund Alleyn and Manuel Mathieu.
The site is open to the public from May to autumn, by appointment.
