In the luxurious south of France, between Aix-En-Provence and the Luberon National Park in one of the oldest winemaking regions, there is a sprawling vineyard where exceptional wine, art and architecture coexist harmoniously. Château La Coste, which opened to the public in 2011, is a bucolic art center offering a complete aesthetic experience: visitors can sip the vineyard's finest wines, stroll along the wooded art walk that winds through the 500-acre estate and explore five indoor exhibition spaces that host shows of works by some of the most acclaimed names in the contemporary art scene.
Château La Coste's striking glass Niemeyer Pavilion is hosting the first major retrospective of the work of Chinese artist Ding Yi, "Prediction and Retrospection." This show marks the artist's first European survey and provides a significant opportunity to discover his visionary practice. The exhibition curator, Alfredo Cramerotti, told Observer that the show is intended to present a significant 'slice' of Ding Yi's career, as not many people in Europe are familiar with his work.
