This one-of-a-kind touring art exhibition was conceived in partnership with the Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry Youth Foundation and is presented for the very first time in Singapore at the prestigious and historic Fullerton Hotel Singapore, as a highlight of the French cultural festival \u201cVoilah! 2015\u201d paying tribute this year to the author of The Little Prince<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"04-Fullerton_LePetitePrince-85-BR\"Arnaud Nazare-Aga and Paj\u2019Art Studio created 14 limited-edition hand-painted, coloured sculptures representing the main characters of Saint-Exup\u00e9ry’s beloved children’s book. This unique art collection is presented alongside a display of rare manuscripts, letters and first-edition books from the private collection of the Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry Estate, which have never been shown before in Singapore.<\/p>\n

\"05-FULLERTON_IMG_1940\"Moreover, The Fullerton Hotel Singapore is also hosting an exhibition of historical photography recounting the great adventure of the pioneers of aviation of Lat\u00e9co\u00e8re (the first French airmail company founded in 1918 by Pierre-Georges Lat\u00e9co\u00e8re and the future A\u00e9ropostale), which brought together legendary pilots such as Saint-Exup\u00e9ry, Mermoz and Guillaumet in the 1920s, the same period as the construction of The Fullerton Hotel (the \u201cGrand Old Dame\u201d was the site of the General Post Office and was built between 1925 and 1928).<\/p>\n

Olivier d\u2019Agay says, “The Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry Youth Foundation is honoured to participate in the French cultural festival \u2018Voilah!\u2019, which gives us a great opportunity to present never-before-seen exhibitions paying tribute to my illustrious relative, the legendary pilot and award-winning author Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry, for the first time in Singapore.\u201d<\/p>\n
