Anne e Patrick Poirier

Anne and Patrick Poirier are a French art duo. From 1963 to 1966 they studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris. After winning the Prix de Rome, they lived from 1969 to 1971 in the Villa Medici in Rome as fellows of the Académie de France à Rome. Though they have worked in a variety of media—photography, drawing, installation and monumental public sculpture—their oeuvre has always dealt with themes surrounding memory, archeology, ruins, memento mori, disintegration, loss and remembering. ...
