Sensationalism must stop. It's nothing extraordinary," says Benoit Decron at the media hype about the mysterious phenomenon affecting some of Pierre Soulages' paintings.

The curator of the Soulages Museum in Rodez (Aveyron), who is preparing an exhibition on the latest creations of the Aveyron artist, is categorical: "There is no risk for his works. At the museum, I didn't have to carry out any restoration, apart from chassis changes," he says.
