Based entirely on loans from the collection at Centre Pompidou/Musée national d’art moderne, the Beacons exhibition highlights a selection of masterpieces rarely shown to the public due to their monumental size.
With no specific chronological order, the exhibition's staging provides an overview of the primary movements in art since the start of the 20th century, from Pablo Picasso to Anish Kapoor including Sam Francis, Joseph Beuys and Dan Flavin.
Different themes will be addressed over the two years in which the exhibition is presented. These include light and shadow, figuration and abstraction, brushwork in 2014.
