The exhibition, curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, an internationally recognised expert in Arte Povera, retraces the history of this movement, from its birth in Italy to its spread across the world, through a large selection of major works by the thirteen main protagonists of Arte Povera. The exhibition will display important works of Arte Povera from the Pinault Collection, in resonance with pieces from the Castello di Rivoli museum and the Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT. The exhibition will also include works on loan from several other major private and public collections in France and Italy, including those of the Arte Povera artists themselves.

In the mid-1960s, various Italian artists began to exhibit together under the banner of “Arte Povera”, or “poor art”, a term invented in 1967 by the art critic and curator Germano Celant, who adapted it from the concept of “poor theatre” put forth by Polish experimental theatre director Jerzy Grotowski.

The artists most closely associated with this movement, including Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario et Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Emilio Prini, and Gilberto Zorio, were mainly interested in the intersections of art and life and of nature and culture.

Arte Povera artists were interested in situations of basic perception, combining their fascination with daily life with a deep respect for artistic tradition. Mistrusting the excessive intellectualisation of art, they shared the belief borrowed from Baroque aesthetics that complex heterogeneity and incoherence are positive values and an expression of creativity. By radically transforming the language of contemporary art, Arte Povera changed the course of Western art history. It formulated an expansive definition of artistic creation that has engendered a fruitful dialogue with the more global artistic expressions of the present day.

Fondation Louis Vuitton presents “Pop Forever, Tom Wesselmann &…”, an exhibition dedicated to Pop Art, one of the major artistic movements of the 1960s, whose influence continues to be felt across all continents and amongst all generations.

The exhibition is centered around Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004), one of the leading figures of the movement, through a selection of 150 paintings and works in various materials. The exhibition also features 70 works by 35 artists of different generations and nationalities who share a common sensibility for “Pop”, from its Dadaist roots to its contemporary manifestations, and from the 1920s to the present day.

In addition to works by Tom Wesselmann, the exhibition include works by Derrick Adams, Ai Weiwei, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Evelyne Axell, Thomas Bayrle, Frank Bowling, Rosalyn Drexler, Marcel Duchamp, Sylvie Fleury, Lauren Halsey, Richard Hamilton, David Hammons, Jann Haworth, Barkley L. Hendricks, Hannah Höch, Jasper Johns, KAWS, Kiki Kogelnik, Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama, Roy Lichtenstein, Marisol, Tomokazu Matsuyama, Claes Oldenburg, Meret Oppenheim, Eduardo Paolozzi, Robert Rauschenberg, Martial Raysse, James Rosenquist, Kurt Schwitters, Marjorie Strider, Do Ho Suh, Mickalene Thomas, Andy Warhol, Tadanori Yokoo…

Among the historical icons of Pop Art featured in this exhibition, is Andy Warhol's famous 1964 screen printing Shot Sage Blue Marilyn, which immortalizes Marilyn Monroe in an explosion of vivid and contrasting colours.

The exhibition, which is chronologically linked to Wesselmann’s works and themes, uses the artist’s work as a starting point to develop a more general presentation of Pop Art. His Great American Nudes will be in dialogue with the American icons of his contemporaries (Evelyne Axell, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Marisol, Marjorie Strider, Andy Warhol). The Dadaist roots of Pop Art (Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters) will be the precursors to his large collages. As for his depictions of consumer goods, they prefigure the representations of merchandise in the age of globalization by Jeff Koons or Ai Weiwei. Finally, his nudes and intimate domestic scenes are mirrored by new works from a new generation, some of which (Derrick Adams, Tomokazu Matsuyama, Mickalene Thomas) are created specifically for the exhibition.
