TheSWATCH ART collection has given rise to one of the
sociological phenomena, triggering a veritable
passion for creations by artists as varied as Valerio
Adami, Pierre Alechinsky, Pol Bury, Cherif and Sylvie Defraoui, Keith
Haring, Alfred Hofkunst, Not Vital, Mimmo Paladino, Kiki Picasso,
Niklaus Troxler, Felice Varini or Tadanori Yokoo.
This creative tradition has become the hallmark of one of the great
Western industrial success stories in the face of
particularly severe, and whose cultural asset is proving to be
essential. Thus the presentation of the new SWATCHs in a
gallery on the Champs-Elysées designed as a challenge intends to illustrate
the enthusiasm generated by creative success.
