Argentine artist Adrián Villar Rojas unveiled a new untitled sculpture in Le Brassus, Switzerland, co-commissioned by Audemars Piguet Contemporary and the Aspen Art Museum. The bronze Triceratops skull, part of his series *The Language of the Enemy*, features a rendering of the Venus of Lespugue emerging from one horn and explores themes of communication, conflict, and prehistoric art. The work will travel to the Aspen Art Museum next spring for a solo exhibition.
The commission marks the first time Audemars Piguet Contemporary has premiered a work at its headquarters, aligning the brand's horological history with Villar Rojas's interest in 'deep time.' The sculpture reflects a shift in the artist's focus from post-extinction scenarios to prehistory, prompting questions about the origins of artistic expression and contemporary anxieties around language and politics. It underscores the growing collaboration between luxury brands and art institutions.
