About Jean-Michel Othoniel
Born in 1964 in Saint-Étienne, Jean-Michel Othoniel studied at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts, Cergy-Pontoise, and is currently based in Paris. Since receiving international recognition for his sculptures made of wax and sulfur at documenta IX in 1992, Othoniel has broadened the scope of his practice by experimenting with a range of mediums, from sculpture to installation.
In 2005, the artist showcased Le Bateau de larmes (Boat of Tears) (2004), which explored the Cuban refugees‘ struggle for freedom, at the Unlimited section of Art Basel. In 2011, his major retrospective My Way was held at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and traveled to venues across the globe including PLATEAU, Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul.

Othoniel has also participated in a diverse range of public projects; in 2000, he received his first public commission to install Le Kiosque des Noctambules (The Kiosk of the Nightwalkers) at the entrance of the Parisian subway station Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre in celebration of the centenary of the Paris metro.
His works can be found in many significant collections around the world, including the Centre Pompidou and Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris; Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice; Museum of Modern Art and Brooklyn Museum, New York; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; Budi Tek-Yuz Museum, Shanghai; and the Louvre Museum, Paris.
