Some Versailles<\/strong> spirit in the Palais de Tokyo<\/strong>, inspired by Francis Kurkdjian <\/strong>path..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the intimacy of an artist\u2019s studio to dreams of space exploration, Paris is transforming this autumn 2025 into a vast open-air museum. Major institutions are competing in boldness to celebrate the masters of yesterday and the creators of today. <\/strong>At the Palais de Tokyo, Francis Kurkdjian turns perfume into an invisible sculpture to be sensed and experienced (pictured nearby). A little further on, the Louvre Museum revisits the revolutionary legacy of Jacques-Louis David, while the Fondation Louis Vuitton devotes a fascinating panorama to Gerhard Richter. From the masterpieces of Georges de La Tour to the contemporary visions of Luc Delahaye, from the forests of the Amazon to the lunar landscapes of Tom Hanks, each exhibition offers a journey through emotion, dream, and reality. In fact, a vibrant season in which art, in all its forms, illuminates the city with a new light. <\/strong>By ST & AL<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Song Dong \u2013 Objets Divers et Vari\u00e9s<\/em> (Le Bon March\u00e9 Rive Gauche)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Until February 22, 2026<\/strong>, Le Bon March\u00e9 Rive Gauche<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is transformed into a vast art installation<\/strong> by Chinese <\/strong>artist Song Dong<\/strong>. As part of the department store<\/strong>\u2019s 11th <\/strong>artistic carte blanche<\/strong><\/em>, this exhibition<\/strong>, named Various and Miscellaneous Objects <\/strong><\/em>(\u767e\u8d27 <\/strong>for b\u01ceihuo<\/em><\/strong>) turns everyday objects<\/strong> into fragments <\/strong>of memory<\/strong> and silent witnesses <\/strong>to the passage <\/strong>of time<\/strong>. Among them, telephones<\/strong>, radios<\/strong>, bottles<\/strong>, and even lamps<\/strong>, drawn from personal collections<\/strong>, the store<\/strong>\u2019s staff<\/strong>, and the public<\/strong>, come together to form a participatory artwork<\/strong>. This installation<\/strong> pays a clear tribute to Marcel Duchamp<\/strong>\u2019s iconic Bottle Rack<\/strong><\/em>. Beneath the glass roof<\/strong>, two monumental suspended structures<\/strong>, made of luminous bottles<\/strong>, reinterpret the ready-made<\/strong> and announce the history of those avant-garde <\/em><\/strong>movements of this Paris<\/strong>\u2019 Left Bank <\/em>temple.<\/p>\n

From trompe-l\u2019\u0153il <\/em><\/strong>shop windows, mirrors<\/strong>, and false windows<\/strong> blur the boundary <\/strong>between interior <\/strong>and exterior<\/strong>, inviting visitors into an active immersive walk<\/strong>. On the second floor<\/strong>, a striking hall of mirrors<\/strong>, composed of reclaimed doors <\/strong>and windows<\/strong>, unfolds vertiginous plays of reflection<\/strong>. Through this total work <\/strong>of art<\/strong>, the inspired artist Song Dong<\/strong> questions our relationship <\/strong>to objects<\/strong>, use<\/strong>, and memory<\/strong>, while offering a poetic second life <\/strong>to the ordinary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Pierre Soulages \u2013 Peintures sur papier<\/em> (Mus\u00e9e du Luxembourg)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Mus\u00e9e du Luxembourg<\/strong> honors the master <\/strong>of black<\/strong> through a fresh angle: his works on paper<\/strong>. Often overshadowed by his large canvases, these pieces reveal the origins of his abstract language<\/strong>. From his early charcoals<\/strong> to his walnut-stain experiments<\/strong>, Soulages<\/strong> explores light through matter<\/strong>, playing with transparency, opacity, and depth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nearly 130 works<\/strong>, including several previously unseen<\/strong>, are gathered with the help of the Mus\u00e9e Soulages <\/strong>in Rodez<\/strong>. The exhibition shows how, from childhood, the artist was fascinated by the contrast between black and white<\/strong>, a symbol of his quest for inner light<\/strong>. A sensitive journey<\/strong> into the laboratory of a visionary painter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Gerhard Richter (Fondation Louis Vuitton)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Fondation Louis Vuitton<\/strong> hosts a monumental retrospective<\/strong> dedicated to Gerhard Richter<\/strong>, a towering figure of contemporary art<\/strong>. At 93 years old<\/strong>, the German painter<\/strong>, known for oscillating between figuration <\/strong>and abstraction<\/strong>, sees 270 artworks<\/strong> gathered in Paris for the first time.<\/p>\n

The exhibition spans over sixty years <\/strong>of creation<\/strong>, from photo-based paintings<\/strong> to his latest color abstractions<\/strong>. Paintings, watercolors, sculptures, and drawings<\/strong> reveal an artist who has constantly pushed the limits <\/strong>of painting<\/strong>. In Richter\u2019s work, each piece probes memory, history, <\/strong>and perception<\/strong>. This exceptional exhibition<\/strong> offers a journey through matter <\/strong>and light<\/strong>, balancing precision <\/strong>and emotion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A master <\/strong>of chiaroscuro<\/strong><\/em>, Georges de La Tour<\/strong> is the subject of a major retrospective at the Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9<\/strong>. Born in 1593<\/strong>, this discreet artist<\/strong> left a lasting mark on French painting<\/strong> with his candlelit <\/strong>nocturnal scenes<\/strong>. The exhibition brings together around thirty rare works<\/strong> from museums<\/strong> around the world, immersing visitors<\/strong> in the silent <\/strong>and meditative atmosphere<\/strong> of his universe.<\/p>\n

From saints<\/strong> to blind musicians<\/strong>, each painting reveals a striking command of light<\/strong> and a deep humanity<\/strong>. We rediscover a mystical artist<\/strong>, fascinated by the spirituality of everyday life<\/strong>. The first major exhibition<\/strong> devoted to La Tour since 1997<\/strong>, this journey literally illuminates <\/strong>the shadows<\/strong> that still surround his life and work.<\/p>\n

\"\"Francis Kurkdjian \u2013 Parfum, Sculpture de l’Invisible<\/em> (Jeu de Paume Museum)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just after launching a new floral Le Beau Parfum<\/strong><\/em><\/a> fragrance, the Palais de Tokyo<\/strong> celebrates 30 years<\/strong> of Francis Kurkdjian<\/strong>‘s creative career<\/strong> with the immersive exhibition<\/strong>, named “Parfum, Sculpture de l’Invisible”<\/em>.<\/strong> Conceived with J\u00e9r\u00f4me Neutres<\/strong>, this free experience<\/strong> invites visitors<\/strong> to explore perfume <\/strong>as a true work <\/strong>of art<\/strong>. With notebooks<\/strong> in hand, visitors<\/strong> may collect perfumer<\/strong>‘s personal touches<\/strong> and discover new creations<\/strong>, like “L’Or Bleu”<\/em> <\/strong>scented drinking water<\/strong>, the ambivalent “Odeur de l’Argent”<\/em><\/strong>, and a Bach suite<\/em> <\/strong>translated into scents<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The highlight<\/strong> remains in a multisensory installation<\/strong> dedicated to the legendary Baccarat Rouge 540 <\/strong><\/em>collaboration, created by Cyril Teste<\/strong> and Anne-Sophie Pic<\/strong>. In his recreated office<\/strong>, the perfumer <\/strong>himself sometimes appears, reminding us that fragrance <\/b>is much more than an accessory<\/strong>, but an invisible sculpture<\/strong>, to be smelled, experienced, <\/strong>and of course collected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Luc Delahaye \u2013 Le Bruit Du Monde<\/em> (Jeu de Paume Museum)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Jeu de Paume<\/strong> museum honors Luc Delahaye<\/strong>, an internationally renowned French photojournalist<\/strong>. For over twenty-five years<\/strong>, he has captured the world\u2019s turmoil<\/strong>, notably through wars, uprisings, disasters<\/strong>, with a gaze both restrained <\/strong>and powerful<\/strong>. As a former member of Magnum Photos<\/strong><\/em>, he merges documentary rigor<\/strong> with artistic composition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This exhibition<\/strong> presents around forty <\/strong>large-scale artworks<\/strong>, several never shown <\/strong>before, and a video installation<\/strong> on Syria<\/strong>. Some images, harsh <\/strong>but necessary<\/strong>, remind us of the violence <\/strong>of current events<\/strong>. By confronting aesthetics <\/strong>and reality<\/strong>, Delahaye<\/strong> questions the viewer<\/strong>\u2019s role in front of human suffering<\/strong> and the responsibility <\/strong>of images<\/strong> in collective memory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Curated by anthropologist Leandro Varison<\/strong> and artist Denilson Baniwa<\/strong>, the show gathers over 380 works, objects, videos, <\/strong>and contemporary creations<\/strong> from the Amazon region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This installation<\/strong> tells the world as seen by its peoples<\/strong>, far from clich\u00e9s<\/strong> <\/em>of a virgin forest<\/strong>. The exhibition<\/strong> reveals the spiritual, artistic, <\/strong>and ecological richness<\/strong> of a living territory where myths, nature, <\/strong>and traditions <\/strong>intertwine. Body paintings, ornaments, creation stories<\/strong>, and modern artworks<\/strong> testify to a fascinating cultural diversity<\/strong>. An invitation to listen <\/strong>to the voices <\/strong>of the forest<\/strong> and rethink <\/strong>our bond with nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"John Singer Sargent \u2013 \u00c9blouir Paris<\/em> (Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay<\/strong> restores John Singer Sargent<\/strong>, the great American portraitist<\/strong>, to his rightful place. Born in 1856<\/strong> and trained in Paris<\/strong>, he quickly emerged as a bold painter<\/strong>, admired as much as he was controversial<\/strong>. The exhibition traces his Parisian years<\/strong>, a decisive period where he refined a style both classical <\/strong>and modern<\/strong>. It features 90 works<\/strong>\u2014portraits, landscapes, <\/strong>and drawings<\/strong>, several of which have never left American collections<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

His famous Portrait of Madame X<\/strong><\/em>, the 1884 Salon <\/strong><\/em>scandal, perfectly illustrates his taste for elegance and provocation<\/strong>. Through his virtuoso<\/em> <\/strong>brushwork, Sargent<\/strong> captures the light and spirit<\/strong> of a complete society <\/strong>in transition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Long forgotten, Berthe Weill<\/strong> finally steps back into the spotlight<\/strong>. A pioneer <\/strong>of modern art<\/strong>, she opened her Pigalle gallery<\/strong> in 1901<\/strong>, introducing the public to now-legendary artists: Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, Dufy<\/strong>, and Suzanne Valadon<\/strong>. The Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Orangerie<\/strong> retraces her visionary career<\/strong> through a hundred works <\/strong>and documents<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With her outspoken character<\/strong> and keen artistic eye<\/strong>, she dared to support young talents<\/strong> ignored by the art market<\/strong> of her time. She also championed many women artists<\/strong>, paving the way for recognition<\/strong> still rare today. A tribute to her bold vision, passion, <\/strong>and perseverance<\/strong>, restoring her rightful place in art history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What if we dreamed awake<\/strong>? The Mus\u00e9e Marmottan-Monet<\/strong> dedicates a major exhibition<\/strong> to sleep<\/strong>, an endless source <\/strong>of artistic inspiration<\/strong>. Curated by neurologist <\/strong>and historian Laura Bossi<\/strong>, no less than 130 artworks<\/strong>, such as paintings, sculptures, objects, <\/strong>and scientific <\/strong>documents, explore the boundary <\/strong>between wakefulness <\/strong>and dreams<\/strong>, from the 18th century<\/strong> to World War I<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From peaceful sleepers<\/strong> to visionary dreamscapes<\/strong>, the exhibition<\/strong> examines our relationship <\/strong>with rest <\/strong>and more precisely the unconscious<\/strong>. Far from a banal theme<\/strong>, it seems that sleep<\/strong> becomes a realm <\/strong>of mystery <\/strong>and beauty<\/strong>, where art <\/strong>meets science<\/strong> to better understand this third <\/strong>of our lives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
