Veuve Clicquot - Solaire Culture

The iconic champagne house guides readers through the fascinating history of Maison Veuve Clicquot, its heritage, savoir-faire and cultural imprint through iconic objects, advertising, music, literature, and movies. On the occasion of its 250th anniversary, Veuve Clicquot imagined "Solaire Culture," its first traveling exhibition on a global scale. This non-museal, immersive and 100% feminine exhibition aims to establish a compelling dialogue between past and present, interpreted through the eyes of internationally renowned women artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Sheila Hicks, Monique Frydman and Tacita Dean. It also showcases the striking contemporary artwork specially commissioned for the occasion as well as documents from the House's archives. Author Monica Sabolo retraces the life of Madame Clicquot - Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin -, a tireless optimist and an audacious trailblazer who revolutionized the world of champagne with three major inventions still in use today.
