Bringing together more than 500 photographs and documents by some 120 historical and contemporary photographers, “Corps à corps” (Body to body) offers a unique insight into photographic representations of the human race in the 20th and 21st centuries.
In “Paris 1874”, a selection of works that appeared at the Impressionist exhibition of 1874 is put into perspective with paintings and sculptures shown at the same time at the Official Salon. This unprecedented confrontation allows us to recreate the visual shock of the works then exhibited by the Impressionists, but also to nuance it, through unexpected parallels and overlaps between the first Impressionist exhibition and the Salon.
Relive the opening evening of the first impressionist exhibition thanks to virtual reality! A unique and immersive journey through time, the exhibition which opened its doors in the former studio of the photographer Nadar on April 15, 1874, at eight o'clock in the evening, brought together independent artists who had chosen to exhibit outside the official Salon. Ambitious, provocative, visionary... Their names include Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissarro and Edgar Degas.
This is the first retrospective in France dedicated to Mark Rothko (1903-1970) since the exhibition held at the Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1999. The retrospective brings together some 115 works from the largest international institutional collections, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., the Tate in London and the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C., and from major international private collections. Displayed chronologically, the exhibition traces the artist’s entire career: from his earliest figurative paintings to the abstract works that he is most known for today.
In the runup to the 2024 Summer Olympic games, this exhibition explores the fascinating links that unite fashion and sport, from Antiquity to the present day. This large-scale project reveals how two apparently distant universes share the same social issues, around the body. 450 pieces of clothing and accessories, photographs, sketches, magazines, posters, paintings, sculptures and videos highlight the evolution of sports clothing and its influence on contemporary fashion. Jean Patou, Jeanne Lanvin, Gabrielle Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli were among the pioneers who, during the interwar period, took an interest in the sporting world and transcribed it in their haute couture creations.
From the Belle Époque to the Roaring Twenties, Paris, more than ever before, to attracted artists from all around the world. This exhibition brings together almost four hundred works by Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, Marie Laurencin, Fernand Léger, Tamara de Lempicka, Amedeo Modigliani, Chana Orloff, Pablo Picasso, Marie Vassilieff, and many others. It also features clothing designs by Paul Poiret and Jeanne Lanvin, jewellery by Cartier, a plane from Le Bourget Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace, and even a car on loan from the Musée national de l’Automobile in Mulhouse. Through fashion, cinema, photography, painting, sculpture, and drawing, as well as dance, design, architecture, and industry, this exhibition showcases the rich creativity of the period 1905-1925.
This exhibition pays tribute to one of the most visionary fashion designers of her generation. A pioneer in the use of new technologies in her discipline, Iris van Herpen transgresses conventional norms of clothing, open to both traditional and forward-looking know-how.
The contemporary exhibition in spring 2024 will highlight the artist's sensitive inscription in the Nabis furrow. If the artist's subtle touch, his chromatic palette and his favorite motifs remind us of Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard or Félix Vallotton, other figurative details bring us back to the most contemporary reality: thanks to the presence of current particularities ( mobile phones or electronic power cables) in these genre scenes brought up to date, but also by transposing concerns of our time onto these compositions.
This exhibition brings together drawings and etchings by Giambattista Tiepolo and his two sons, Giandomenico and Lorenzo Tiepolo , a family of virtuoso artists in 18th century Venice. The study of these sheets and prints, associated with works by other artists, sources of inspiration, such as Rembrandt, highlights the great modernity of their art. This is particularly evident in their ability to produce variations of the same theme, both through traditional religious and mythological subjects and in figure studies, particularly caricatures, but also in scenes of Venetian life.
This exhibit through the prism of the body, anatomy and sport highlights nearly 50 works from the museum , from Antiquity to the beginning of the 20th century, some of which were specially taken from the reserves. Different themes will be addressed: the origin of the Games with representations of athletes on ancient vases, dance , the heroic body , women and sport .
Rousseau can be considered a true proto-ecologist: with other artists and writers, Rousseau takes a new look at the forest of Fontainebleau, which will lead to the protection of part of it under the name of the famous “artistic reserves” (1853), a first in a world in full industrialization.
A self-taught and jack-of-all-trades artist, Jean Sabrier (1951-2020) developed a polymorphous body of work over five decades. His subtle and poetic work combines rigor and humor, offering those who look at it a perceptual experience that is both enjoyable and destabilizing.
Bichon shapes the current architecture of the gallery like a sculpture, modifying the lights and the picture rails in several places to reveal and alter the properties of the museum, shifting the exhibition space into a second, elusive state. The Pursuit is an exhibition that attempts to seize this the in-between space of the work, that of intuitions and transformations.
Vera Molnár was a pioneer of digital art. Her works, sustained by a knowledge of the psychology of shapes and the laws of vision, designed in a constructivist approach around 1947, became artistic interrogations of perspective. As a cybernetician and computer scientist, Molnár established what she called an "imaginary machine" in the 1960s, before becoming the first artist in France (1968) to produce digital drawings using a computer connected to a plotter. Up until the mid-90s, she engaged in systematic exploration of families of forms, showcasing their mutations while usually prioritising iteration and seriality.
The Louvre's Department of Near Eastern Antiquities is hosting ten major works from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art is currently closed for renovation. The Louvre and The Met have created a unique dialogue between these two collections, which is displayed in the Louvre's permanent galleries. These 'special guest' artworks from The Met, dating from between the late 4th millennium BC and the 5th century AD, show some remarkable connections with the Louvre's collection.
