Massimo De Carlo gallery unveils Paris outpost by Kengo Kuma
Intended for single-work exhibitions, Massimo De Carlo Pièce Unique is small, minimal, yet ambitious, proposing a new exhibition model that emphasises the connection between viewer and artwork

Massimo De Carlo Pièce Unique may be tiny, but it’s ambitious in concept. Located in the Marais, and breaking with the local tradition of hiding top galleries within enclosed courtyards, this first Parisian space of the influential Italian gallerist is scheduled to open to the public on 9 February. Unusually, it will only present a single art piece at a time.
