Felix Gonzalez-Torres / Roni Horn

This new exhibition is rooted in the strength, radicalness, and artistic affinities that connect two major figures of the art of our time, Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn. In the form of a dialogue, this exhibition highlights the principles of duplication, duality, and identity at work in both artists’ practices. Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn have contributed to inventing new forms of relationship between the work and the viewer, new ways of exhibiting. For the first time in a museum in France, an exhibition reveals this powerful bond; it gives us the opportunity to see and feel the fruit of a creative relationship that was dazzling and singular in every aspect.

In the 540 m² of Gallery 2, the exhibition develops a conversation between major works, structured around an emblematic basis of their practices: “Untitled” (For Stockholm) (1992) and “Untitled” (Blood) (1992) by Felix Gonzalez-Torres; Well and Truly (2009–10) and a.k.a. (2008–9) by Roni Horn. These four landmark works from the Pinault Collection have never before been brought together in a single exhibition and shown to the French public.
