Monacqua x George Condo: an artistic collaboration in the heart of the Principality

22 April

Monacqua x George Condo: An artistic collaboration in the heart of the Principality Starting in spring 2025, Monacqua is taking its artistic commitment to the next level by unveiling a unique collaboration with one of the greatest masters of contemporary art: George Condo. The unique universe of this American artist, renowned for his fragmented figures and aesthetics oscillating between classicism and distortion, is now part of our daily lives through a series of limited-edition bottles. This collaboration is part of a strong context: that of the lasting relationship that George Condo maintains with the Principality of Monaco. A relationship that will find a new echo next fall, with a major retrospective dedicated to the artist at the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, in October 2025. At the same time, Monacqua is making the bold move to democratize access to art by offering these exceptional bottles at the brand's usual prices-a rare approach in such artistic collaborations. "Art nourishes the soul as water nourishes the body," aptly recalls Simon de Pury, renowned auctioneer, collector, and former chairman of Sotheby's Europe, who enthusiastically supports this initiative. At the end of the year, he will organize a charity auction of a few exclusive bottles signed by George
