Le BAL pays tribute to Guido Guidi, a pivotal figure in european photography. Since the 1960s, his reflection on the language of the image has given rise to one of the most distinctive visual poetics of our time. For the first time at le bal, this body of work takes shape in eighteen photographic sequences conceived by the artist, in collaboration with the MAXXI – Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI secolo in Rome.

With Julie Héraut, Deputy director of the BAL and curator of the exhibition

From April 10 to August 2, 2026, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is featuring the largest retrospective devoted to Lee Miller in France in twenty years.

Initiated by the Tate Britain and in collaboration with the Art Institute of Chicago, the exhibition brings together roughly 250 vintage and modern prints, some of which have never been exhibited, offering a fresh perspective on her oeuvre.

A key figure of the international avant-garde, Lee Miller (1907, Poughkeepsie, United States - 1977, Chiddingly, United Kingdom) was by turns a fashion model, surrealist artist, portraitist, fashion photographer, and war correspondent accredited by the U.S. army. Long relegated to the role of muse, she is now recognized as one of the major twentieth-century photographers.

The exhibition follows her entire career, from her beginnings in New York to the war years in Europe, including her stint in Egypt and her life in London. It showcases the breadth of a body of work in which formal experimentation, visual boldness, and political engagement coexist.

With Fanny Schulmann, Head curator at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris and co-curator of the exhibition

Mission Recherche

Alongside a conventional figurative practice, Hilma af Klint developed a body of work shaped by spiritualism and science, in which spirals, circles, and radiating forms convey the invisible forces governing the world and a search for cosmic harmony. Long kept secret, initially at the artist’s own request, this work was not presented to the public until 1986, in the group exhibition The Spiritual in Art: Abstract Painting 1890–1985 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
This event not only highlights the many sources that informed her work—esotericism, folklore and popular art, and scientific culture—but also questions the way art history long overlooked women artists and their contribution to the founding movements of modern art.
