l’art en plus has been advising the Château du Rivau since 2019.
Château du Rivau brings together medieval and Renaissance architecture, the art of landscaping, contemporary art and the art of living. Located in Touraine, in the commune of Lémeré (Indre-et-Loire) and part of the network of major heritage sites in the Loire Valley, the estate is composed of a 13th-century seigniorial fortress and Renaissance stables classified as a Historic Monument. Completely restored by its owners, Château du Rivau attracts many visitors for its gardens, which have been awarded the Jardins remarquables label and serve as a backdrop to a park of around twenty monumental contemporary sculptures.
Pieces by Lilian Bourgeat, Jean-Pierre Raynaud, Philippe Ramette,… echo the collection on display inside the château: Jan Fabre, Théo Mercier, Julien Salaud, Wim Delvoye, Pierre Ardouvin,…
Every summer, exhibitions bring together works by contemporary artists on themes such as Hommage à Léonard in 2019 and Le goût de l’art in 2020.
