From Auguste Rodin to Duane Hanson, Georg Baselitz to Michael Armitage, Ana Mendieta to Miriam Cahn, Philip Guston to Marlene Dumas, David Hammons to Kerry James Marshall, Kudzanai-Violet Hwami to Mira Schor, and from Arthur Jafa to Deana Lawson, the exhibition “Corps et âmes” explores the significance of the body in contemporary thought as expressed in the works of some twenty artists in the Pinault Collection. In the matrix-like curves of the Bourse de Commerce, these bodies form a choreography, a multiple rondo.
Pinault Collection is exhibiting three major works by Arthur Jafa (b. 1960, Tupelo, Mississippi, United States) at the Bourse de Commerce ahead of the exhibition “Corps et âmes”, of which they represent an early highlight.
