Dana Schutz at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris
The American artist Dana Schutz practices painting as a form of social commentary. Her large canvases are often grotesque and absurd, but also full of humor.
Juergen Teller: i need to live
Juergen Teller is in many ways my opposite. That’s why I find his work interesting and inspiring. I therefore enjoyed visiting "i need to live", a large retrospective devoted to his work conceived by Teller himself.

Sophie Calle at the Musée Picasso
"À toi de faire, ma mignonne", Sophie Calle's take-over of the Musée Picasso, is one of the most intelligent exhibitions I've seen in a long time. Picasso is absent, but he has never been more present.
Nicolas de Staël at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris
The Nicolas de Staël retrospective at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is a revelation. This was the first time that I encountered a comprehensive survey of his work. I instantly recognized a kindred spirit.
Le Paris de la Modernité at the Petit Palais
Le Paris de la Modernité (1905-1925) is a sprawling exhibition, which brings to life a period when Paris was the cultural capital of the world. Through nearly four hundred works across all artistic domains, the exhibition celebrates the effervescence of the years 1905 to 1925.
Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso at the Musée du Luxembourg
I was not expecting to see works by Bruce Nauman, Carl Andre and Jasper Johns, when I saw the posters for “Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso. The Invention of Language”, but it makes for an interesting exhibition.
Mark Rothko at the Fondation Louis Vuitton
The Mark Rothko retrospective at the Fondation Louis Vuitton is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see an exceptionally large selection of works by the American abstract expressionist.
