BIO - Stoppani & Legavre
Juan Stoppani (1935-2022) was born in Argentina.
Trained as an architect, he was a key figure at the Instituto Di Tella and won the Braque Prize in 1965. His work, characterized by vibrant and festive iconography, broke away from the solemnity of previous aesthetic movements.
Jean Yves Legrave (1945) was born in France.
A theater director, set designer, and costume designer, he collaborated with Stoppani on projects that merged art, fashion, and scenography. Together, they worked with fashion icons such as Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Emanuel Ungaro.
They met in Paris in 1970 during the production of Eva Perón by Copi and remained inseparable ever since. From 2012 onward, they lived and worked together in La Boca, Buenos Aires.
Their artistic synergy continues to resonate in each of their works.
