Current exhibits worth taking in.

Thanks!
I hope they are still on in September.
I love photography exhibitions.

If you are interested in fashion both the Making Couture at the Petite Palais and Golden Thread at Quai Branley are very mush worth considering.

There is a large retrospective of the photographer Robert Doisneau's work at the Musée Maillol until October 12th.

sounds interesting, thanks for sharing! Our last time in Paris was 2019 and looking to go back soon!

It’s not your average art show, but there is a very very good street art exhibit at an installation called Zoo Art Gallery at La Défense. It covers several floors and many many different styles of art and installations.

You need to buy tickets in advance, but if you have any interest it Iis very much worth it.

We went to both the photo exhibit at the Malliol and the exhibit in Nogent. While I love Ronis, it was not as good an exhibit as earlier ones and I think not worth the trip unless you want to visit Nogent, walk along the Marne, see the old Pont des Arts now moved there or the last of the halles from Les Halles -- that one also moved there.

The Doisneau at the Malliol is simply terrific -- not to be missed if you are interested in photography.

Gentileschi at the Jaquemart Andre closes August 3. https://parisjetaime.com/eng/event/exhibition-artemisia-musee-jacquemart-andre-e1292

Tant pis. On y va en Septembre.

Louvre Couture runs until Aug 24th in the Richleau wing. It intersperses designer work with the Louvre’s decorative arts collection. It’s a nice break from the hoards in the other galleries.

We went to the Jacquemart-Andre on Saturday, May 31st with timed-entry tickets for noon. They sell walk-up tickets but really limit how many people they admit at a time, so consider buying ahead. Our primary goal was to visit the museum, but the Artemisia exhibit is very impressive, especially considering her backstory. The exhibit does an excellent job of framing her work within the context of her story.

There is also a haute couture retrospective mixed into one floor of the Lourve that is very good if that's your thing and the Lourve workers aren't on strike that. Placing the pieces in the decorative parts of the museum does put them into the cultural context of extravagance and fine things that they are a modern expression of:

The layout of the exhibit is little confused but there is a special map to follow for the exhibit.

Last month, I saw 4 very good special exhibits in Paris. The previously mentioned Hockney at FLV was amazing and the Degenerate Art at the Picasso was sobering and inspiring all at once.

Not mentioned yet on this thread, Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris has two interesting exhibits this summer - Gabriele Münter, my favorite German expressionist, through August 24 and for the Matisse fans, a sweet exhibit of portraits of his daughter, Marguerite, through July 13. Just a side note: if you are crowd-averse, Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris can be a nice alternative to Musée d’Orsay. I’m not saying an equivalent, but a good modern art experience without the crowds. Entry to the permanent collection is free.

Not everyone's cup of tea but there is a huge and amazing street art exhibit at La Defense. Five floors with each being it's own experience. If you have any interest in this form of expression then don't miss it.
