In 2025, La Malmaison, a contemporary art center and iconic building on the Croisette in Cannes, invited Jean-Michel Othoniel for an inaugural exhibition following renovation work. The book Poussière d’étoiles (Stardust), inspired by the gold of fallen stars, is the exhibition catalog.
In homage to the contemplative power of glass, Jean-Michel Othoniel's exhibition explores the interplay of light, material, and scale. Inspired by nature, the artist presents a series of sculptures that, in a movement between mathematical precision and poetic delicacy, captivate the eye and the mind.
Sculptures with infinite reflections, the transcendence of gold, the dazzle of light—a certain idea of beauty runs through the exhibition and the 90 works that comprise it.
“Stardust” is an exploration launched in search of the marvelous, lost in our real world.
A text by Claude Arnaud, writer, essayist, and biographer, accompanies Jean-Michel Othoniel's work.

Othoniel (Jean-Michel)
Born in Saint-Étienne in 1964, Jean-Michel Othoniel has, since the late 1980s, invented a multifaceted universe.
The year 1993 marked a turning point in his work. Collaborating with the finest artisans in Murano, he explored the properties of this material, which has since become his signature. The delicacy of glass and the subtlety of its colors are part of the artist's vast project: to poeticize and re-enchant the world.
More recently, his work has taken on an architectural dimension and is often found in gardens or historic sites through public or private commissions.
Since participating in Documenta in Kassel in 1992, Jean-Michel Othoniel has presented major exhibitions around the world. In particular, he had a major retrospective at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. In 2019, a new series of paintings, La Rose du Louvre, entered the permanent collection of the Louvre Museum.
His works are present in several contemporary art museums, foundations, and private collections around the world.
