Julio Le Parc (1928–2026)
The Maestro has Joined the Stars
It is with great sadness and deep emotion that we bid farewell today to this extraordinary artist who transformed our perception of light, movement, and space.
Born in Argentina in 1928 and based in Paris since the late 1950s, Julio Le Parc dedicated his life to challenging the way we experience and look at art. Through light, movement, reflections, and viewer participation, he opened entirely new paths and became one of the leading figures of kinetic and optical art.
His work profoundly shaped the history of contemporary art and continues to inspire generations of artists around the world.
We had the privilege of knowing him, exhibiting his work, and sharing meaningful conversations with him. We will remember a man who was free-spirited, curious, generous, deeply committed, and blessed with an extraordinary creative energy.
We extend our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones, especially to his sons Juan, Yamil, and Gabriel.
His work will continue to inspire future generations, and his light will continue to shine far beyond us.
Rest in peace, Julio.
