In recent months, the health situation having finally improved a bit, we have finally been able to make some trips. We hope that the situation will improve again, and that this new Omicron virus will not be too virulent! Are we going to be able, in a few months, to fully revive our passion?

GEORGIA O'KEEFFE - POMPIDOU CENTER - PARIS

Affiche de l'exposition Georgia O'Keeffe

From 08/09/2021 to 06/12/2021 - "Georgia O'Keeffe"

The Centre Pompidou presented the first retrospective in France of Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986), one of the greatest figures of 20th century North American art. The exhibition, which featured some one hundred paintings, drawings and photographs, offered a complete overview of her artistic career. Georgia O'Keeffe, who died at the age of 98, lived through most of the aesthetic adventures of the previous century. In the 1920s, she belonged to the select circle of inventors of American modernism, then in the 1930s, she participated in the search for identity that marked the United States, before becoming a pioneer of "hard edge" abstract painting in the 1960s.

A remarkable exhibition! For us, beyond the books we had read and seen, a magnificent discovery!

A. & J. ALBERS - MAM - PARIS

Affiche de l'exposition Anni et Josef Albers

This exhibition (from 10/09/2021 to 09/01/202), "Anni and Josef Albers The Art of Life", brings together more than three hundred and fifty works (paintings, photographs, furniture, graphic works and textiles) significant to the artistic development of the two artists.

Beyond the comprehensive presentation of their respective creations, this is the first exhibition in France dedicated to the couple formed by the two artists. It is indeed this intimate and very complicit bond that has enabled them, throughout their lives, to support and strengthen each other in a permanent and respectful dialogue. They not only produced a body of work that is now considered the basis of modernism, but also imbued a whole new generation of artists with their educational values. The exhibition opens with two emblematic works by each artist, illustrating from the outset, like a prologue, the formal and spiritual values that link the couple. It then follows, in chronological order, the different stages of their lives. In addition, the exhibition features a large number of documents (photographs, letters, notebooks, postcards, etc.), collected with the help of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation (which collaborated in the organisation of the exhibition), which also provide a context for the work of the two artists.

A very exciting exhibition!

BOTTICELLI - JACQUEMART ANDRE MUSEUM - PARIS

The Jacquemart-André Museum, from 10/09/2021 to 24/01/2022, celebrates the creative genius of Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) and the activity of his studio, by exhibiting some forty works by this refined painter, accompanied by a number of paintings by his Florentine contemporaries on whom Botticelli had a particular influence. The career of Botticelli, who became one of the greatest artists in Florence, bears witness to the influence and profound changes that transformed the city under the Medicis.

Botticelli is undoubtedly one of the best known painters of the Italian Renaissance, despite the mystery that still surrounds his life and the activity of his studio. He alternated tirelessly between one-off creations and mass-produced works completed by his many assistants. The exhibition shows the importance of this workshop practice, a laboratory teeming with ideas and training, typical of the Italian Renaissance. It presents Botticelli in his role as creator, but also as entrepreneur and trainer. Following a chronological and thematic order, the exhibition illustrates Botticelli's personal stylistic development, the links between his work and the culture of his time, as well as the influence he himself exerted on Florentine artists of the Quattrocento.

A very beautiful exhibition, still open for a few weeks. Don't miss it!

MOROZOV COLLECTION – F. LOUIS VUITTON - PARIS

From September 22, 2021 to February 22, 2022, the Louis Vuitton Foundation presents The Morozov Collection, one of the most important collections in the world of Impressionist and modern art. The event exhibition brings together more than 200 masterpieces of modern French and Russian art by the Muscovite brothers Mikhail Abramovich Morozov (1870-1903) and Ivan Abramovich Morozov (1871-1921). It is the first time since its creation, at the beginning of the 20th century, that the Morozov Collection has traveled outside Russia.

The Morozov Collection. Icons of Modern Art brings together a set of works by French and Russian artists among the most iconic in this Collection: Manet, Rodin, Monet, Pissarro, Lautrec, Renoir, Sisley, Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Bonnard, Denis , Maillol, Matisse, Marquet, Vlaminck, Derain and Picasso alongside Repin, Korovine, Golovine, Sérov, Larionov, Gontcharova, Malévitch, Machkov, Kontchalovski, Outkine, Sarian or Konenkov. The exhibition unfolds in an original museography evoking historical references and the timelessness of works emblematic of the emerging artistic modernity of the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

An exhibition not to be missed under any pretext. Quite dazzling!

DANIEL SPOERRI - MAMAC - NICE

Affiche de l'exposition Spoerri au MAMAC de Nice

For the first time, the MAMAC is devoting an exhibition (from 16/10/2021 to 27/02/2022) to Daniel Spoerri, a member of the New Realism movement, close to Fluxus and initiator of Eat Art.

The artist deals with chance, the anecdotal and the derisory, with emotion as her starting point. It articulates the artist's research around a new form of art that aims to go beyond the field of representation in favour of an enlarged, participatory and collaborative sensory experience.

The exhibition is like a stroll through a fairground theatre with its traps and traps, its cabinets of curiosity and its banquets. With nearly 300 works and documents, it offers a labyrinthine journey through the art of appropriation, from his first trap paintings to the creation of unusual museums and the art of the table and the kitchen.

While Daniel Spoerri's trap paintings have become popular, the exhibition sheds new light on the artist's work. The project brings together, over 1200m2, exceptional loans from major French public institutions: the Centre Pompidou-Musée national d'art moderne - Centre de création industrielle.

The monumental work "La Réplique de la Chambre n° 13 de l'Hôtel Carcassonne (1998)" is presented for the first time in France and several banquets imagined by Spoerri from 1963 onwards are organised in collaboration with the artist: a fine way of sharing the vitality of this facetious work!

An exhibition visited with great pleasure!

WORKS ON PAPER - SCHIO - ITALY

Affiche pour Opere su Carta à Schio en Italie

The small town of Schio, in the Italian Province of Vicenza in Veneto, organised (from 23/10/2021 to 27/02/2022) the fifth edition of the International Biennial of Works on Paper in the Fogazzaro Palace-Museum. This is a very interesting event, which brings together artists (80 artists from 27 countries in the 5 different continents), often of great quality, from all over the world; this year special attention is given to Romania, the guest country. Each artist presents two works. The exhibition thus includes, on several levelsx, a large group exhibition of works on paper: prints (lithographs, etchings, woodcuts and serigraphs), artists' books and installations. We particularly noticed the wonderful engravings by Krzysztof Tomalski, a Polish artist, those of Maria Chiara Toni, whose work you can find on our site, the black manners of Guntars Sietins (also presented on our site), the spectacular cut-outs by Claudio Onorato, the large linocuts by the Ukrainian artist Glesya Dzhurayeva, the magnificent artist's book, "Le Quattro Stagione", with woodcuts by Alfredo Bartolomeoli, etc.

A must-see exhibition for those who happen to be in this beautiful region!

CHRISTO & JEANNE-CLAUDE - ARC DE TRIOMPHE - PARIS

The Christo and Jeanne-Claude team created « L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, Paris (1961-2021) », in accordance with Christo's wish to continue the project after his death on 31 May 2020.

Visible for 16 days, the work required 25,000 square metres of recyclable silver-blue polypropylene fabric and 3,000 metres of red rope of the same material.

The packaging of the Arc de Triomphe "will be like a living object that will come alive in the wind and reflect the light. The folds will move, the surface of the monument will become sensual," explained Christo when presenting his final project two years before his death. As early as 1962, Christo and Jeanne-Claude had signed a photomontage with the Arc de Triomphe in a package, an idea that came from looking at the monument from their first Parisian flat on Avenue Foch.

We think that those who, like us, were able to see this spectacular work, especially at night, will have fond memories of it.
