MAMAC
LÉGER ET LES NOUVEAUX RÉALISMES
June 15 to November 18, 2024
Group exhibitions
Curated by Anne Dopffer
Thanks to an unprecedented partnership between two major collections on the Côte d’Azur, works by Niki de Saint-Phalle, Arman, Yves Klein, Raymond Hains, Martial Raysse and César come face to face, in a spirit of total freedom and dialogue between the arts, with the plastic innovations of Fernand Léger, one of the pioneers of the 20th century avant-garde. Alongside the main representatives of Nouveau Réalisme, a group founded in Paris in 1960 around art critic Pierre Restany, works by the generation of artists who emerged on the other side of the Atlantic in the 1960s, such as Roy Lichtenstein and later Keith Haring, illustrate the early artistic exchanges between the European and American scenes.
An exhibition organized at the Musée national Fernand Léger, Biot by the musées nationaux du XXe siècle des Alpes- Maritimes and GrandPalaisRmn in partnership with MAMAC, Nice.
