“Peinture, Emblèmes, et Références”
CAPC musée d'art contemporain
On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the CAPC Museum presented a brilliant exhibition of the work of nine contemporary masters: Georg Baselitz, Daniel Buren, Jannis Kounellis, Sigmar Polke, Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Robert Ryman, Frank Stella, and Andy Warhol. The show’s title, “Peinture, Emblèmes, et Références” (Painting, emblems, and references) goes a little way toward explaining the choice of works. Dating from the ’50s and ’60s, they were made during a formative period for each of these artists, and today, the works still serve as reference points for contemporary artists.
