Shirley Jaffe (1923 - 2016), an American painter who settled in Paris in 1949, is a referential figure in abstract painting at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. She claimed, provocatively, to have discovered Pierre Bonnard in New York, then Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol in Paris. This exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Basel constitutes the second stage of her first retrospective after an initial show at the Centre Pompidou in Spring 2022.

The Fondation Gandur pour l’Art and the Mémorial de Caen announce “Années pop, années choc, 1960-1975”, their second exhibition crossing art and history, opening on June 23 at the Memorial. The show will delve into social, political, and cultural protest movements in France from 1960 to 1975. It will present the figurative paintings of artists like Eduardo Arroyo, Erró, Gérard Fromanger, Eulàlia Grau, Ivan Messac et Bernard Rancillac, who brought a critical reflection on their time, from the Vietnam war in the aftermath of May 68.

The last loan of 2022, "Dédale" (1975) by Maria Vieira da Silva now hangs on the walls of the Museum of Fine Arts in Dijon for the second edition of the retrospective exhibition "Vieira da Silva. L’œil du labyrinthe" (Vieira da Silva. The eye of the maze) from December 16, 2022 to April 3, 2023. The exhibition takes place on the occasion of the thirtieth birthday of the artist's death. The show features 80 emblematic works of the acclaimed Portuguese artist, highlighting her journey towards non-figuration. It includes an additional part devoted to “The Eye of the Collectors”, focuses on the artist's intimacy through her special relationship with Kathleen and Pierre Granville, who were both her patrons and her friends.
