In New York, the exhibition will open with a reception for the artists on January 20, 2011 from 6-8pm and will be on view until February 19, 2011. In Paris, the exhibition will open on January 26 and be on view until March 3, 2011. Milan Kunderaʼs 1984 novel Lʼinsoutenable légèreté de lʼêtre explores the intellectual, emotional, and artistic experiences one faces throughout life, which are all part of an individualʼs incessant quest for harmony and balance. Kundera believes that life is only lived once, therefore oneʼs actions and decisions matter little, and lifeʼs passage possesses an unbearable lightness, as opposed to a “weighty” life of worry and consequence.

The artists featured in this exhibition explore different aspects of the human condition, such as love, happiness, desire, loneliness and despair. The range of human emotions manifests in these works, thus the gallery becomes an environment in which visitors should ponder their existential placement in the world. This exhibition presents oneʼs search for meaning as frightening and bizarre, as well as contemplative and spiritually sublime.

Yvon Lambert opened Galerie Yvon Lambert in Paris in 1967. The Collection Lambert in Avignon opened in 2000 with 350 works from Yvon Lambertʼs personal collection and presents more than 1200 works today. Yvon Lambert New York was founded in 2003 and in 2007 moved to its current location, designed by Richard Gluckman in collaboration with Thomas Zollinger.
