Featured Events in Paris in July 2025 (June Updated)

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.

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles welcomes the Disney 100: L'Exposition! This exhibition brings together more than 250 precious collections, including classic animation manuscripts, movie props, costumes and accessories, taking you through Disney's 100-year creative process. The exhibition is divided into ten themed galleries, covering classic animations from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in 1937 to "Moana" in 2021, as well as modern works such as Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars. Interactive installations, immersive experiences and rare exhibits will take you into the magical world of Disney and feel the charm of each story.

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. By proposing new ways of making, viewing, and confronting images—both with each other and across disciplines such as video, music, text, and performance—he invites us to embrace a renewed humanism.

Paul Poiret, the legendary French designer who led the revolution, opened the prototype of modern fashion in the 20th century with his mysterious design elements that advocated oriental aesthetics, and once created the amazing "Oriental style clothing". As a fantasy master in the fashion industry and an aesthetic dictator who is regarded as the "King of Fashion", Paul is also the first designer to establish a perfume company. His talent extends to interior design and he has become the ancestor of the fusion of fashion and lifestyle. In 2025, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris will launch a special exhibition to commemorate the figure of this legendary master who ignited the fashion revolution with the flowing clothing silhouette and colorful colors. The exhibition content will focus on Paul Poiret's fashion design, decorative art, and perfumery, and then go deep into topics such as party style and food taste, recreating the dreamlike fashion scene in the early 20th century and remembering the master together.

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.

“Chaosmos” is an invitation to 12 artists to tell us about the cosmos and invent new ways of inhabiting the Earth. Welcome to Chaosmos, a world that deconstructs, in order to better reconstruct, in time and space, the place in the universe that we attribute to ourselves and the way in which we inhabit the world, the traces that we leave there, the links that we establish there. From this precariously balanced zone emerge the works of twelve contemporary artists, from several countries around the world: South Africa, Belgium, Canada, Spain, France, Guyana, Japan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia. They evoke the relationship between our conception of the cosmos and our attitude towards the preservation of life on Earth.

Thanks to the cooperation of many important institutions, the exhibition "Tous Léger!" is on display at the Luxembourg Museum. The exhibition is curated based on the museum's existing collection, and the works of modern art pioneer Fernand Léger (1881-1955) are in dialogue with the works of European and American avant-garde artists from the 1960s to the present. The title of the exhibition has multiple meanings: on the one hand, it directly refers to Fernand Léger's name Léger, emphasizing his central position in the exhibition, while also implying the approachability and integration of art advocated by Léger and his new realism movement into daily life, suggesting a "light (Léger)" and unpretentious attitude.

The exhibition "Lucas Arruda. Qu’importe le paysage" at the Musée d’Orsay is the first monographic exhibition at a French museum to be devoted to this emblematic figure on Brazil’s contemporary art scene. A true master of pictorial gesture, he has developed his work around light, consistently depicting landscapes and taking a rigorous approach that leads him from figuration to abstraction.

FOR HER SOLO EXHIBITION AT THE FONDATION AS PART OF THE OPEN SPACE PROGRAMME, TABITA REZAIRE PRESENTS THE FILM "DES/ASTRES" (2024), THE LAST PART OF A TRILOGY DEVOTED TO THE TIES THAT HUMANITY FORGES WITH THE COSMOS.

From 9 April to 31 August 2025, the Musée Marmottan Monet presents the exhibition ‘Eugène Boudin, the father of Impressionism : a private collection’. Collector Yann Guyonwarc’h has assembled a collection of works by Eugène Boudin (1824 – 1898) that is unrivalled in any museum in the world. Every facet of the artist’s career is represented, from his first paintings in Le Havre to his final trip to Venice; from private sketches to paintings for the Salon (including one of the two largest beach scenes ever painted by Boudin). The works in this prestigious collection are matched with the holdings of the Musée Marmottan Monet, to highlight the dialogue between Boudin and his main pupil, Claude Monet. Thanks to the participation of the Durand-Ruel archives, the relationship between the two artists and their main dealer is also explored.

Since 2019, the museum has invited a contemporary artist to come and dialogue with its collection. For the ninth edition of these “Unexpected Dialogues.”, it has chosen to invite Françoise Pétrovitch. A major artist on the French and international art scene. In this “Unexpected Dialogue”, presented from April 9 to September 14, 2025, she has chosen another woman artist, Berthe Morisot, with whom she shares the themes of portraiture, childhood, adolescence and intimacy. Here, the parallel between Morisot’s Roses trémières and Pétrovitch’s Soleils highlights another bridge between the two painters: the very embodied, interior relationship with nature.

The Atelier des Lumières in the 11th arrondissement of Paris is hosting an immersive digital art exhibition of The Little Prince, using light and shadow to tell the story of the blond little prince's cosmic journey, taking you into the classic world of Saint-Exupéry. With giant projections and music intertwined, you will travel through the stars with the little prince, explore the poetic fables of roses, foxes and deserts, and feel the fusion of innocence and philosophy. Ba Xiaolv wishes all adults and children can find the rose in their hearts~

While Khmer art is known around the world for its stone monuments, recent excavations have provided dramatic breakthroughs regarding our knowledge about its significant bronze statues.

Galerie Lelong presents a major retrospective devoted to Arnulf Rainer, a leading figure in contemporary art for over 70 years. This exhibition retraces his artistic career, from his first works in the 1950s to his most recent creations, and marks 40 years of collaboration between the gallery and the artist.

In the spring of 2025, the Fondation Louis Vuitton will be inviting David Hockney into all its exhibition spaces, with over 400 works dating from 1955 to 2025. To mark the occasion, Galerie Lelong, which has represented the artist for many years, is staging an exhibition of his prints - portraits and still lifes - in its space dedicaded to prints downstairs and in the salon upstairs, at 13 rue de Téhéran.

Esther Schipper Gallery presented Martin Boyce's solo exhibition "Unhome" in its Paris space on May 23. This is the artist's second solo exhibition at Sprüth Magers Gallery and his first exhibition in the gallery's Paris space. The exhibition is part of a dual exhibition project during Paris Gallery Weekend, with the artist's other exhibition "Walk with Me" held at Galerie Natalie Seroussi.

Schipper Gallery is pleased to announce Martin Boyce’s exhibition “Walk with Me” at Galerie Natalie Seroussi. The exhibition will be held concurrently with the artist’s solo exhibition “Unhome” at Schipper Gallery. The title “Walk with Me” is taken from David Lynch’s 1992 film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, an iconic film known for its mysterious atmosphere and refusal to be interpreted in a single way. Like Lynch’s work, Martin Boyce’s work incorporates ambiguity and uncertainty, inviting the viewer into a dramatic, disorienting, and emotionally dense dialogue. This also echoes the creative attitude of the Surrealist artists, many of whom are carefully selected by Boyce from the Natalie Seroussi Gallery collection to be presented together with his works.

A laureate of the 2024 Villa Kujoyama residency, Ulla von Brandenburg spent five months in Japan, where she deepened her understanding of Japanese culture and explored traditional textile techniques. As an extension of her research on shadows, the artist invites us to rethink how we inhabit thresholds. The works produced during her residency transform the gallery into a site for experiencing grey zones— liminal, ambiguous, and porous spaces.

Marian Goodman Gallery presents Bounty, Steve McQueen's first solo exhibition in Paris since 2016. One of the most influential artists of his generation and an internationally acclaimed filmmaker, McQueen is known for his inventive dissemination of social constructs, often addressing painful and overlooked histories through projected images and sound. Bounty, a series of 47 photographs capturing the vivid beauty of flowers native to the Caribbean Island of Grenada, makes its European debut following its presentation at Dia Chelsea in New York currently on view along with Sunshine State, a contemplative work on time and cinema. Through this verdant imagery, McQueen offers more than a study of nature: he presents a meditation on history, West Indian heritage, and resilience. A new work will be presented alongside Bounty.

As part of the gallery’s annual curatorial invitation, Bigaignon presents Morandi’s Books, a photographic series by American artist Mary Ellen Bartley.Rooted in a 2020 residency at Casa Morandi in Bologna, Morandi’s Books offers a contemplative look into the personal library of Giorgio Morandi, the twentieth-century Italian painter renowned for his quiet and precise still life compositions. Bartley, whose practice explores the physical and formal qualities of books, approached Morandi’s library not just as a subject, but as a point of intimate connection with the artist himself.

Gagosian presents an exhibition of four photographs by Andreas Gursky—two new, one recent, and one from the beginning of his career in 1980.Gursky’s photographs evoke the global flow of information, the chaos of contemporary life competing with the classical desire for order. He portrays the visual extremes of the present with objectivity, capturing built and natural environments on a grand scale in richly detailed images comparable to early nineteenth-century landscape paintings. Many have been digitally manipulated, and reveal a sensitivity to the damaging effects of human systems on the natural world.

Perrotin Paris presents the gallery’s fifth solo exhibition with artist Matthew Ronay, Thirteen Forms. The presentation brings together ten sculptures and three wall reliefs that continue Ronay’s exploration of the subconscious through his ability to transform the intangible into tactile experience. Ronay’s sculptural works evoke a phantom familiarity, as if plucked from the shadowy recesses of a fevered dream. Erotic undertones and a perverse alchemy of form pulse through Ronay’s objects, which are characterized by subversive humor. Central to the exhibition are two monumental horizontal installations, a polychrome work (The Tombs Are Upset, 2023) and, for the first time, a black monochrome (Contraband Emulator, 2024). Each appears as a kind of cursive script of forms, an approach first employed in Ronay’s 2022 exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, Texas.

Mitterrand presents a new exhibition of works by Franco-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle in both its Paris galleries.Entitled Mythology, this exhibition brings together works from the 1960s to 2000 and explores the artist’s iconography and the symbols that underlie it. The Nanas remain Niki de Saint Phalle’s emblem, but many other figures populate her work. Whether animals, monsters or hybrids, her figures often derive from mythology and tend towards a double meaning.
