COLORS ! MASTERPIECES FROM THE CENTRE POMPIDOU

GRIMALDI FORUM - MONACO

From July 8 to August 31, 2025, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco presents “Colors!”,  an exhibition dedicated to the modern history of color through major masterpieces of the 20th century, drawn from the collection of the Centre Pompidou.  

Under the curatorship of Didier Ottinger, Deputy Director of the Musée National d'Art Moderne - Centre Pompidou, the exhibition will feature over a hundred  works, including paintings by major artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Jean-Michel  Basquiat, Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Henri Matisse, and Wassily  Kandinsky.  A true sensory and visual journey will invite visitors to reconsider the percep-  tion of color in modern art. At the heart of the exhibition, seven monochromatic  spaces will be enriched by the sound creations of composer Roque Rivas, in  collaboration with Ircam, and olfactory atmospheres developed by Alexis Dadier  in partnership with the Fragonard perfume house. These unique installations will  allow visitors to experience color not only visually but also through other senses:  hearing and smell.  In continuation of the journey, iconic design pieces by Ron Arad, Jean Prouvé,  Ettore Sottsass, Philippe Starck and many more will be part of specially conceived installations by designer Marion Mailaender, connecting art pieces  with design objects. By recreating interior settings, the French architect and  designer will offer a different perspective on art, integrating it into everyday life.
