FIAC Day 1
At last I am in Paris, it has been two years since our last visit and everything was beautiful and the buildings were dreamy. Our first stop was François Pinault’s collection at the Bourse de commerce. The art works were individually magnificent, especially the David Hammons Room. The building was incredibly monolithic. Maurizio Cattelan’s pigeons have been waiting a long time to be in the right place
