Brancusi, the inventor of modern sculpture at the Center Pompidou
In 1995, the Center Georges Pompidou presented the first retrospective ever organized in France on the work of Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957).
Twenty years later, the museum does it again with an exhibition paying tribute to the father of modern sculpture.
In addition to the sculptures (around 120), photographs, drawings, films, archives, the tools and furniture of the workshop will also be exhibited.
Remember that the workshop has been one of the treasures of the Center Pompidou since its bequest to the French State in 1957. It is the matrix of this exhibition where we will see, among other masterpieces,
The Sleeping Muse
(1910) or
Princess

Galerie Yvon Lambert
Guillaume Piens, the very dynamic director of
ART Paris,
has this year's credo: “A fair in Olympic form!”
136 galleries were carefully selected from 300 applications, including 42 new ones that are setting the trend in contemporary art.
On the menu: two themes.
A look at the French contemporary scene by curator Eric de Chassey, from
Fragiles Utopies
in a period marked by doubt (Yto Barrada, Vera Molnar, Raphaël Zarka, etc.) The other focus,
Art and Craft,
entrusted to curator Nicolas Tremblay , shows how artists invest the field of artisanal know-how, ceramics, glass, tapestry.
(Sheila Hicks, Daniel Dewar and Gregory Gicquel, Jeanne Vicerial…) A medal for
Art Paris,
still at the forefront?

Pierre Huyghe was given carte blanche for his new exhibition at the Punta della Dogana in Venice (Pinault collection).
He plunged it into darkness where performers, wearing a golden mask,
Idioms,
emerge, carrying a new language.
The mask being one of the narrative threads of the installation, since
Liminal
, 2024, the eponymous work which is the matrix of this exhibition to the film
Human Mask,
2014, where a monkey wears a young girl's mask in a restaurant, near from the city of Fukushima, via
Zoodram 6,
an aquarium where a hermit crab pulls a head/mask based on Brancusi's
Sleeping Muse
.
This lair in the darkness is a place of transition with its human and non-human creatures which modify, hybridize and amplify.
Welcome to the enigmatic, poetic, metaphysical afterworld of Pierre Huyghe.

Beautiful book: the faces and hands of writers in photos
Faces and hands -
150 portraits of writers
by Hannah Assouline published by Herscher SP
Jean Rolin, Françoise Sagan, Philippe Sollers, Annie Ernaux, Patrick Modiano, Salman Rushdie, Marie Ndiaye, Alberto Moravia, Nancy Huston…From them, we know their works, sometimes their faces.
But not at all their hands, this essential tool, an extension of their brain where these sentences are born conveying worlds as luminous as they are secret.
The photographer Hannah Assouline, who for thirty years has been documenting her passion for literature, had the great idea of focusing on the language of the hands of the craftsmen of writing.
150 agreed to give him their hands which speak of happiness as well as suffering, the wear and tear of time as well as elegance.
From the almost childish hands of Elie Wiesel to those stained by the trials of Serge Rezvani, a whole truth is revealed.
Sensitive and generous, Jérôme Garcin's preface invites us to take soft steps into this beautiful book.
Faces and hands, 150 portraits of writers.
