An ode to freedom, the exhibition highlights the artist’s freedom of experimentation, alternating between different techniques and mediums since 1947: canvases, inks, with or without embossing, etchings, lithographs, enameled lava, porcelain books, and even a harpsichord painted in 1986, displayed in the grand hall. An ode to friendship, the exhibition presents works created in collaboration with artists like Jiří Kolář, Hans Spinner, or to accompany the works of authors such as Salah Stétié, Amos Kenan, or Joyce Mansour. An ode to love, the exhibition also reveals itself through the image of the unpublished painting titled "Comme elle partait", created in 2023, as a tribute to Micky (1928-2023), whom he married in 1949.Monday | Closed |
