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.
