The Fondation Gandur pour l’Art and the Mémorial de Caen present 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.

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.
