Featured Events in Paris in June 2025 (May Updated)

This monographic exhibition is dedicated to Austrian architect Hans Hollein (1934-2014), most commonly associated with the postmodernist movement following his participation in the inaugural Venice Architecture Biennale in 1980 and his colonnaded façade proposal for the Strada Novissima project. Bringing together the most emblematic pieces from an œuvre spanning over fifty years, the exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the coherence of his artistic and critical approach, viewed through the lens of his engagement with various movements that shaped the post-avant-garde from the 1960s to the 1980s—from informal art to conceptual art, including radical architecture.

Since the 1990s, he has been developing a body of work centred on the passage of time, largely consisting of videos and related drawings, studies, storyboards and dissertations on various projects. Claerbout invites the viewer to explore the plurality of the experience of duration through perception of often miniscule changes. His film Boom (1996), for example, is a slow, attentive observation of a magnificent tree in the countryside. Only the air flowing through its leaves tells us that the image is in motion, prompting us to view it with a demanding yet contemplative eye. The image, simple and beautiful, exerts an unaccustomed fascination by depicting the self-evidence of the tree’s existence in the world.

The Jacquemart-Andre Museum hosts a retrospective of the works of Italian female painter Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-c. 1656), looking back on her fearless life and creative career and exploring her position in the history of 17th century painting.

Before its five-year hiatus, the Centre Pompidou presents Paris Noir, an exhibition focusing on African artists active in Paris between the 1940s and 2000. African artists have received much attention in recent years, and they have practiced and explored various fields from international abstractionism to African and Atlantic abstractionism, from surrealism to free painting, in order to seek identity recognition. However, many of their works have never been exhibited in France before. The exhibition includes works by 150 artists from the United States and Africa. Five contemporary African artists have specially created five art installations for the exhibition, interpreting the memories of African artists in Paris from a contemporary perspective.

A pioneer of Neo-Impressionism and a pillar of anarchist and libertarian circles, Maximilien Luce (1858-1941) marked his era with a profound artistic and political commitment. A painter of urban and rural landscapes and the human condition, he captured the social and industrial transformations of his time with a unique sensitivity. The first Parisian retrospective since 1983 dedicated to this major Neo-Impressionist painter, the exhibition is held just steps from where Luce resided from 1887 to 1900, on Rue Cortot. Rooted in the history of Montmartre and the contradictions of his time, the painter's work is highlighted in this exhibition, which aims to reaffirm his importance and introduce his often overlooked oeuvre to the general public. Besides the humanist character that made the man's heart beat and distinguished his entire oeuvre, landscape was the other dominant theme that animated his painting throughout his life. Luce captures light and color, revealing the beauty of urban and rural landscapes with a persistent social sensitivity. For the exhibition "Maximilien Luce, the Instinct for Landscape," the Musée de Montmartre has chosen to present his work through the prism of landscape, taking visitors on a retrospective journey between the two essential centers of his life: Paris and Rolleboise. Visitors are invited to follow the artist's wanderings from Montmartre, where he lived from 1887 to 1900, through the bustle of the Parisian streets, and through his travels from Saint-Tropez to the Pays-Noir of Charleroi, via the Netherlands, Normandy, and London.

Jean Chatelus, who passed away in 2021 at the age of 82, was a Lyon-born historian and lecturer at the Sorbonne. Throughout his life, he amassed a collection unique, driven more by an impulse to accumulate than by a traditional collector’s approach. Comprising nearly 400 pieces—sculptures, installations, paintings, photographs, drawings, votive and vernacular objects—the collection explores themes of the body, death, and the fleeting nature of life.Presented almost in its entirety, the collection reflects Chatelus’s evolving tastes: from an early fascination with Surrealism and repurposed objects, to a later focus on body art. It also reveals his keen interest in non-Western ethnographic artifacts, folk traditions, and the works of contemporary art’s outsiders and enfant terribles, including Cindy Sherman, Mike Kelley, Christian Boltanski, Yayoi Kusama, Michel Journiac, Daniel Spoerri, Robert Filliou, Nam June Paik, Joana Vasconcelos, Andres Serrano, and Wim Delvoye.

This project, labelled by the National Mission for the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation, was made possible thanks to loans from the following institutions: The Heritage and Photography Media Library (MPP), the National Audiovisual Institute (INA), the Contemporaine Library, the Communication and Audiovisual Production Agency for the Department of Defense (ECPAD), France Press Agency (AFP), the Liberation Museum, Hauts-de-Seine Départemental Archives, National Archives in Washington, the Liberation of Paris Museum –General Leclerc Museum –Jean Moulin Museum, and Gamma Rapho Keystone.

Gaza is home to a wealth of archaeological sites from all periods that are now in peril. The IMA is therefore offering an exceptional collection in more ways than one, made up of highly valuable pieces that the vagaries of history have saved from disaster and which reveal the depth of its history, a priceless treasure whose complexity is reflected in this exhibition. Since 2007, the Geneva Museum of Art and History (MAH) has become the museum-refuge for an archaeological collection of nearly 529 works belonging to the Palestinian National Authority and which have never been able to return to Gaza: these amphorae, statuettes, funerary steles, oil lamps, figurines, mosaics, etc., dating from the Bronze Age to the Ottoman era, form a collection that has become a reference in light of the recent destruction.

The Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris presents the first retrospective in France devoted to the German artist Gabriele Münter (1877-1962). Co-founder of the Munich circle of the Blue Rider (Blaue Reiter), Gabriele Münter is one of the most eminent female artists of German Expressionism. In an artistic world dominated by men, she was able to create an extremely personal and diverse body of work that spans six decades.

Adéla Janská’s practice is a meditation on form and perception, a delicate unravelling of selfhood tracing contours of femininity with an ethereal hand. Her subjects, often female figures - unyielding and imbued with a spectral grace - exist within a liminal space where their very stillness exude a sense of mystery and enigmatic depth. With their impenetrable surfaces concealing layers of meaning beneath the fragile gleam of porcelain glass skin, these delicate effigies, drawn from her childhood memory of playing with paper dolls, or inspired by from her collection of Bohemian and Bavarian figurines, serve as symbols - untouchable, eternal, their surfaces unmarked by time or physicality.

The exhibition "Agnès Varda's Paris, Here and There" explores the work of Agnès Varda (1928-2019) from a unique perspective. It showcases the artist's still little-known photographic oeuvre and reveals the pivotal role of the courtyard-studio on Rue Daguerre (Paris 14th arrondissement), a space where she lived and created from 1951 to 2019. More generally, it demonstrates the importance of Paris in a free and abundant oeuvre that never takes easy paths and wonderfully creates a dialogue between documentary and fiction.

Since the Renaissance, the book in art has symbolized knowledge, with the codex—both as an object and a concept—becoming a metonym for scholarship and learning. In the digital age, where text is increasingly detached from its printed medium, Tornabuoni Art Paris presents The Book. Object Between Memory and Symbol, a project bringing together a selection of Italian and international artists who have explored the book not only for its literary content but also for its symbolic value. Aiming to offer a broad international panorama of the use of books in contemporary art, the exhibition features works by Vincenzo Agnetti, Alighiero Boetti, Jean Boghossian, Pascal Convert, Chiara Dynys, Emilio Isgrò, Anselm Kiefer, Giulio Paolini, Claudio Parmiggiani, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Yinka Shonibare, and Chen Zhen.

Galerie Max Hetzler, Paris, presents Tableaux en Laine, Pierres en Bronze, a solo exhibition by Sarah Crowner, uniting a new series of embroideries, bronze sculptures and canvases. This is the artist’s inaugural exhibition with the gallery, and her first presentation in Paris.

World-renowned for its stone monuments, Khmer art also produced significant bronze statuary, knowledge of which has undergone spectacular advances thanks to recent excavations. The Guimet Museum is dedicating the exhibition Royal Bronzes of Angkor: An Art of the Divine to bronze. The highlight of this exhibition is the statue of the reclining Vishnu from the Western Mebon—an 11th-century sanctuary west of Angkor—discovered in 1936, which originally measured over five meters in length. This Cambodian national treasure will be exhibited for the first time with its long-separated fragments, after benefiting from a scientific analysis and restoration campaign in France in 2024, with the patronage of ALIPH (International Alliance for the Protection of Heritage). It will be accompanied by more than 200 works, including 126 exceptional loans from the National Museum of Cambodia, whose presence allows for a chronological journey of bronze art in Cambodia, from the 9th century to the present day, through a journey leading the visitor to the major sites of Khmer heritage.

Jeanne Vicerial, the young and sensationally talented French textile artist, has a new show at TEMPLON Paris where she unveils the result of two years spent exploring the notion of metamorphosis. For the Pupation exhibition, Vicerial fills the gallery’s original space in Rue Beaubourg in Paris with her “presences”, the large sculptures in crocheted or smoothed black thread that are so characteristic of her practice.

To conclude the program within the building, which will close for five years of renovation, German artist Wolfgang Tillmans (born in 1968, Germany) has been given carte blanche to take over the 6,000 m² of Level 2 of the Bibliothèque publique d’information (Bpi). He will explore both the library’s form—its architecture and layout—and its functions, such as the transmission of knowledge, accessibility, and resource sharing, through the lens of his aesthetic universe.Rooted in the counterculture spirit of the early 1990s, Tillmans' photographic work delves into the profound transformation of media and information platforms in our time.

Guillaume Bottazzi a réalisé un tableau fruité en face du parc Montsouris. Il est visible de l’extérieur, au 34-36 avenue Reille, à Paris dans le 14ème arrondissement. Ce tableau apporte l’art ou on ne l’attend pas forcément et accompagne le quotidien des habitants. Cette huile sur toile de lin mesure 0,90m de haut par 1,80m de large. Elle a été conçue pour habiller l’entrée d’un bâtiment et dialogue avec les éléments qui l’entourent. L’artiste a déjà créé plus de 65 œuvres dans des espaces publics, comme un polyptique de 100m² à Paris La Défense, à Hong-Kong ou au Japon où il est l'auteur de la plus grande peinture du Pays, commandée par le Musée International d'Art Miyanomori. Ses œuvres font partie de collections muséales, notamment en Asie et aux Etats-Unis.
