An intimate evening unveils the artist’s miniature, hyper-observed world at Saint Laurent Babylone
Saint Laurent Babylone opened its doors for an intimate gathering to celebrate ADORATION, a new exhibition of works by French artist Louise Sartor curated by Anthony Vaccarello. The event offered guests a first look at the painter’s meticulous miniature compositions, on view from December 10 to January 11, and brought together a thoughtful mix of art-world insiders and friends of the house.
Sartor’s pieces—gouache renderings on delicate surfaces such as cardboard packaging and torn newspaper—demand close viewing. Their seemingly casual, everyday subjects unfurl into layered reflections on privacy, perception, and the aesthetics of contemporary life. Drawing on imagery pulled from media, social networks, and personal archives, the artist “reveals the porosity of the current boundaries between private and public life,” positioning her work at the intersection of social commentary and intimate observation.
The evening highlighted the depth of her practice while reinforcing Saint Laurent’s growing cultural footprint under Vaccarello, who continues to champion artists whose work resonates with the house’s intellectual and modernist sensibilities. All artworks from the exhibition are available for sale, underscoring ADORATION not just as a showcase, but as a significant moment for collectors and admirers of Sartor’s singular, quietly radical vision.
