How does The Travelers (sculptures) elucidate its Public display?
In 2013–2014, Bruno Catalano created the sculptures and displayed them in Marseilles, France, at the Marseille-Fos Port. The artist displayed ten of these sculptures in the port's outdoor exhibit.The most famous of these Traveler sculptures is Le Grand van Gogh, which is now on permanent display in Calgary, Canada.In 2019 thirty Traveler sculptures were displayed in places around Venice, Italy, as part of the 58th Venice Biennale. The centrepiece was a tableau in the Church of San Gallo which included fragile terracotta versions of the statues. The four terracotta works were complete human figures and each was placed opposite a traditional incomplete Traveler statue in bronze, intending to represent the end of the emigrants' journeys.From July to September 2021, four of the sculptures were on display on the waterfront at Arcachon, France.
