Simon Hantaï at the Center Pompidou, Paris

22 MAY - 2 SEPTEMBER 2013
Galerie 1, LEVEL 6

The Centre Pompidou brings together for the first time the work of one of the greatest painters of the second half of the 20th century, a master figure of abstraction: Simon Hantaï. Five years after the death of the artist, the Centre Pompidou dedicates an original exhibition to Hantaï’s work - the first in over thirty-five years. Through more than 130 paintings created from 1949 to the 1990s, this exhibition, unprecedented in its scale and retrospective character, bears witness to the importance and abundant richness of a body of work that has today gained international recognition.

A Giant Among Art Fairs Spreads Its Reach

"At the Galerie Berès, some will discover an unexpected connection between two great contemporary artists. In a monumental panel signed by Judit Reigl around 1982-1984, the proportions and rhythm of vertical bands of trailed paint call to mind some “Abstract Pictures” done by Gerhard Richter between the mid-1980s and the late 1990s. Ms. Reigl’s gray and white tonalities and the texture of her composition are different, but it is hard to escape the feeling that the 80-year old Mr. Richter and the 90-year-old Ms. Reigl are kindred spirits."
