ARC / MUSEE D’ART MODERNE
ARC / MUSEE D’ART MODERNE DE LA VILLE DE PARIS is pleased to present two new exhibitions:
CARLA ACCARDI
Born in 1924, Carla Accardi is one of the most important Italian artists. This solo exhibition in France will present a selection of her works including paintings and installations.
URGENT PAINTING
17.01.02 / 3.03.02
“This exhibition, which brings together 32 artists from around the world, does not set out to proclaim the emergence of new tendencies or movements, but to present some of the work that is most characteristic of the current painting in its questioning of the function and autonomy of art.”
Laurence Bossé and Hans-Ulrich Obrist
