Numéro art also photographed the artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster in her recent exhibition in Madrid. Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, one of the most respected and celebrated French artists in the world, reveals herself in an interview as the high priestess of the exhibition, which she transforms into scripted environments and fantastical experiences.

Richer and more contrasted than ever, this autumn’s Paris art calendar seems to delight in the paradoxical and the contrary, pitching an assumed minimalism against an unbridled maximalism.
This minimal/maximal tension is reflected in the Reiffers Initiatives foundation, which is celebrating the fifth edition of its mentorship program with an exceptional exhibition featuring its 2025 mentor and young talent duo: Daniel Buren and Miles Greenberg.
A legend in the world of contemporary art, with a career that spans six decades, Daniel Buren has lost nothing of his panache. Proof can be found at Reiffers Initiatives, where, during Art Basel Paris, he unveiled a new permanent intervention featuring his famous stripes on the building’s façade as well as a reworking of its glass ceiling.
At the same time, the iconic French artist has spent several months guiding Canadian-born rising star Miles Greenberg, the result of which is a striking, co-created immersive exhibition that reimagines the very architecture of the Reiffers Initiatives foundation. At the foundation, the Canadian artist has unveiled Solaris, an ambitious project that, mixing sculpture, installation, and performance, offers a baroque immersion into mythology.
At Paris’s Fondation Louis Vuitton, a sensational retrospective of 300 works demonstrates all the range of the legendary German’s painting, from the most precise figuration to complete abstraction.
Numéro art invited graphic novelist Enki Bilal, whose mythic Monstre series engages with the figure of the contemporary artist, to draw Richter’s portrait, while curator Camille Morineau recounts her transformative experience working with the master.
A painter, sculptor, theorist, and philosopher, he has been developing his very personal minimalist vocabulary since the 1960s.
Numéro art met up with him in Paris, at his atelier, and afterwards at the studio of another great master, photographer Paolo Roversi, who took his portrait.
