two.

In this issue a selection of exhibitions in galleries and museums in Paris, where she was able to visit in the first week of your stay in the city.

1 - Alex Katz in Galerie Yvon Lambert.

the Famous American artist who in this exhibition somehow replaced their bright pop artovskie portraits on delicate delicate picturesque trees and landscapes. Stunning architecture of the space and the collection, organization, light, the selection.

 

2 - Manish Nai in Galerie Thaddeaeus Ropac.

compared with most of the artists represented here in the largest galleries, Manish Nai, practically, the youngest (36 years) from India.

abstract modernism fine-grained objects made from some dry in the adhesive mass of tissue and crumpled in a beautiful hard structure. Scenic photos of the tattered billboards, adjacent to the old romantic white reliefs exhibition space in a historic medieval building in the narrow alley.

 

3 - Rodrigo Arteaga in Galerie Sobering.

a Young Chilean author. The triumph of paper. More specifically, the pages that made up the zoo/Botanical atlases, organized, preserved in the pseudo installation for the respective museums.&Also passionate about the modeling of thick white cardboard all stands, presentation shelves and surfaces.

4 - Takashi Murakami in Galerie Perrotin.

Artist brand. Bright, professional, expensive. Very expensive.

the impression that you probably walked into a Tibetan temple and not in one of the most popular galleries in Paris.

 

5 - Duane Hanson and Oliver Mosset in Galerie Gagosian.

In a joint exhibition by these two authors not sure. In my opinion, better than apart.

 

6 - Picasso Museum.

Pablo Diego josé Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno maría de Los Remedios Cipriano de La Santísima Trinidad martir Patricio Ruiz and Picasso. Now....&the Museum is located in the former mansion of the Consulate of the Republic of Venice. Operates with 80s Also presents the temporary exhibition "Picasso and Giacometti". 

the Enduring power of the great "hurry and ripen" the wizard slashes at the cheeks of his extant sexual energy work, although the author is long gone in sight. Here and turned in "icons" painting, and sculpture from papier-mache, bronze, plaster, street huge sculpture and linocuts, even a Selfie in a knitted cap. Extravaganza.

Standing beside Alberto Giacometti looks like never, infinitely romantic, fragile and gentle, so I have not seen him, neither in books nor alive in America, nor in Europe. An exhibition of two catalysts of creativity each other.

Worth a go, as many rare works by Giacometti, which then disperse again around the world.

 

7 - Rene Magritte Centre Pompidou

the Doors here, of course, did not break down the visitors, but the sensation produced stunning. To go better in the hours 8 p.m., two hours before closing. Presents a wealth of rare, unknown to the General public - gouache paintings, drawings, posters, letters. Well as books from his personal collection, reprints of which can be bought in the Museum shop at the exit of the exhibition.

 

8 - Giuseppe Penone in Marian Goodman Galerie

People. A man walks through the woods, taking a handful of clay soil, supplies it in the palm of your hand with saliva, and causes a stir on the closed eyelid of the right eye. Standing still until the clay does not dry up. What happened next about this video is silent.

a Celebration of hands, casts and traces that the hands can leave the sculpted clay mass, from miniatures to hypertrophic enlarged, converted into large objects. Photos, drawings, sculptures, video documentary. Good photos of the exhibition and the works presented on the site gallery.
