Adult price 15.98 euros instead of 17 euros with the code TIQETSMUSEUMS on tiqets.com
This retrospective is devoted to Gérard Garouste, one of the greatest contemporary French painters, adept at uncompromising figuration.
It brings together 120 major paintings, often of very large format, and presents installations, sculptures and graphic works by the artist. The exhibition allows us to apprehend the richness of the unclassifiable career of Gérard Garouste, “the restless one”, whose life of study, but also of madness, and his enigmatic work inspire each other in a fascinating dialogue.
