The American artist Alice Neel (1900-1984), who lived through the periods of abstraction, Pop Art, and minimal and conceptual art, always remained at odds with the avant-garde and faithful to a very personal figuration. The retrospective devoted to her by the Centre Pompidou proposes to rediscover her work through two major themes: the class struggle and the gender struggle. It highlights the political and social commitment of an artist for whom the act of painting is fundamentally a search for truth.

The exhibition "Jardins de Rêves" brings together the work of Alberto Giacometti and Salvador Dalí in a new way, focusing on the creation of an imaginary garden in the early 1930s. Giacometti and Dalí, members of the Surrealist group, frequented the same circles. The exchange between them was lively, intellectual and creative, and their works entered into a fruitful dialogue. Organised in close collaboration with the Kunsthaus Alberto Giacometti Stiftung in Zürich, this exhibition highlights their friendship and their shared taste for exploring dream spaces.

Mission Recherche

On June 10th, 2021, the Centre Pompidou accepted a donation of 921 works by 242 artists from the private collection of Bruno Decharme. This very impressive collection is now on display in a new dedicated room on the fifth floor, where the works on display change every six months. The rotation of the works shows the richness of this exceptional collection, which represents about one sixth of the total collection of Bruno Decharme.
