Art : Concept is pleased to present Gobbler by Caroline Achaintre, in collaboration with von Bartha, at this year’s Unlimited sector by Art Basel.

Writer Anaël Pigeat recently met Achaintre at the Young V&A in London to discuss her work and her fascination for masks and tapestry. You can read the full article here.
