Jean Cocteau major exhibition at Hong Kong City Hall presents some 230 works by the graphic poet Jean Cocteau as well as masterpieces created by artists he considered as friends and associates.

Inspired by Cocteau's sense of poetry and design, these include Pablo Picasso, Giorgio de Chirico, Leon Bakst, Bernard Buffet, Leonard Foujita, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani and the great Andy Warhol.

The exhibition is composed of iconic pieces from the important private collection owned by Ioannis Kontaxopoulos and Alexander Prokopchuk as well as exceptional loans from the National Museum of Monaco, Jean Cocteau's house in Milly-la-forêt and the Maison Cartier.
