Tribune de Genève and 24 Hours in particular, article by Benjamin Keller

Excellent article by Benjamin Keller published 24 April in 24 Hours and the Tribune de Genève on the slow recognition of artists with disabilities. Through the example of Pascal Vonlanthen, artist CREAHM, whose works have seduced Michelle Obama’s stylist, Jason Wu. The rights of the drawings of Pascal Vonlanthen used by the stylist were sold for a few thousand francs. Is it not too little, given the staggering price of New York designer clothes?
