The monumental sculpture “Ether” by Japanese artist Kohei Nawa has found its place near the Seine Musicale on the Seguin Island in Boulogne-Billancourt.

At Bovis Fine Art Paris, we take pride in our exceptional expertise in the transportation and installation of monumental sculptures. Our proven know-how and commitment to excellence make us the ideal choice for the most demanding artistic projects.

The prestigious installation of “Ether” by Kohei Nawa

A striking example of our remarkable expertise is the recent installation of Kohei Nawa’s monumental sculpture “Ether.” This captivating work, standing at 25 meters tall, has been erected at the tip of the island, behind the Seine Musicale, in the Hauts-de-Seine department. “Ether” symbolizes equality and marks the artist’s first permanent monumental creation in Europe.

Exceptional human and mechanical resources

To accomplish this monumental task, Bovis Fine Art Paris mobilized considerable human and mechanical resources. With a 100-ton mobile crane, two telescopic platforms, and a team of 8 experienced handlers, we ensured the precise transportation, handling, and assembly of this astonishing 12-faceted sculpture.

The masterpiece “Ether (Equality)” illustrates Kohei Nawa’s unique ability to blend cutting-edge technologies with elements steeped in tradition. Depicting the inverted fall of a water droplet, this sculpture once again demonstrates his artistic mastery.
