Tous Léger !
Thanks to an unprecedented partnership between two major dSEE DU collections on the Côte d’Azur, the works of Niki de Saint Phalle, Arman, Yves Klein, Raymond Hains, Martial Raysse and César come together with the plastic innovations of Fernand Léger, one of the pioneers of the avant-garde in the 20th century.
Alongside these leading representatives of New Realism, works by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and, later, Keith Haring, illustrate the early artistic exchanges between European and American artists.
The exhibition, featuring nearly 100 works, explores various thematic themes in a playful and creative manner: the repurposing of objects, the representation of the body and leisure, and the place of art in public spaces.
Through powerful artistic gestures, artists elevate elements captured in their most banal reality to the rank of works of art. They merge art and life and reveal to the viewer the poetic beauty of our daily lives.
