The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is presenting, in collaboration with the artist, the most significant exhibition to date of George Condo’s work. A painter, draftsman, and sculptor, Condo has created a distinctive pictorial universe, drawing on a rich visual culture that spans Western art history, from the Old Masters to contemporary practices. Following the museum’s retrospectives on Jean-Michel Basquiat in 2010 and Keith Haring in 2013, both artists with whom Condo shared a close artistic friendship, this exhibition forms the final chapter of a New York trilogy, exploring the emergence of a new generation of painters in the 1980s. Each of these artists contributed in their own way to redefining the medium of painting, a path that Condo, the sole survivor of that decade, has continued to pursue ever since.

Organized in dialogue with the artist, the exhibition revisits more than four decades of Condo’s career, presenting his most emblematic works. Loans from major American and European institutions, including MoMA, the MET, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, alongside private collections, are brought together in Paris for the first time. The exhibition features approximately 80 paintings, 110 drawings – grouped in a dedicated graphic arts space – and around twenty sculptures interspersed throughout the galleries.
