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.

The Musée national Picasso-Paris collection is the fruit of an extraordinary history, made possible by the dation procedure - today it is the largest public collection of works by Picasso, the "Picassos of Picasso". Coming from the artist's studios, this collection gives us a better grasp of the aesthetic explorations of a Picasso who was by turns disconcerting, plural, contradictory, reflexive, gestural and conceptual, an aesthete and a committed activist, a tinkerer and a poet. Is he symbolist, cubist, classical, surrealist or simply figurative and political?

At the invitation of the Musée national Picasso-Paris, Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca (b. 1961) has created a site-specific work in the chapel of the Hôtel Salé. Since his intervention at the Venice Biennale in 2007, Kuitca has developed a new language, echoing the architecture, which the artist calls ‘cubistoid painting’, in which a set of intersecting lines, like so many folds in the plane, is deployed directly on the walls, forming a new pictorial space.

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.

John Singer Sargent (Florence, 1856 – London, 1925), along with James McNeill Whistler, was the most famous American artist of his generation and certainly one of the greatest painters of the 19th and early 20th century. Revered in the United States (his Portrait of Madame X is regarded as the Mona Lisa of the American art collection conserved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York), he is also famous in the United Kingdom, where he spent most of his career. In France, however, his name and work remain largely unknown, a situation that the exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay in fall 2025 hopes to change.

The shortlist for this year’s Prix Marcel Duchamp, announced by the Association for the International Diffusion of French Art (ADIAF) is: Bianca Bondi (born 1986 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Lives and works in Paris); Eva Nielsen (born 1983 in Les Lilas, France. Lives and works in Paris); Lionel Sabatté (born 1975 in Toulouse, France. Lives and works in Paris and Los Angeles); and Xie Lei (born 1983 in Huainan, China. Lives and works in Paris). Endowed with €90,000, the Prix Marcel Duchamp is the most prestigious contemporary art prize in France. It is awarded every year by the ADIAF to recognise contemporary art production by artists who are French or who live in the country. The prize is followed by an exhibition of the shortlisted artists. This year, for the first time since the creation of the prize in 2000, the exhibition will not be held at the Centre Pompidou, which will be closed for renovation. Instead, the exhibition will take place at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris from 26 September 2025 through 22 February 2026. The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is set to host the exhibitions of the Marcel Duchamp Prize until 2029.

The project, titled DALY, standing for Dessiner Avec Les Yeux (Drawing with my Eyes), is implemented with the help of an eye tracker (an oculometric procedure that highlights eye activity, the visual path, its fixation points and movements). So the eye rather than the hand becomes the tool. For the last thirty or so years, the artist has collaborated with numerous laboratories in creation of these works, including at the Louvre, the Centre Pompidou, the MUDAM in Luxembourg, the Zentrum Paul Klee in Berne, the Dadu Museum in Beijing, the Nouveau Musée National in Monaco and the Centre d’Art Verrier (CIAV) in Meisenthal. Michel Paysant focuses in particular on interpretation of artistic heritage, revisiting art history, “looking at” works through the filter of his own creation. In 2022, he was overcome by a desire to draw Claude Monet’s Water Lilies with his eyes. Initially, perhaps, because of the paradoxical nature of such an ambition: wanting to draw huge paintings characterised by their scope, their lack of beginning and end, regarded as one of the birth certificates in the west for a decentred, “all-over” form of painting, where no one part of the painting holds primacy over any other.
