The unique pictorial world of George Condo will be on display at the MAM in Paris, with a show that explores over four decades of the artist’s work through an extensive number of paintings, drawings and sculptures. Organised in collaboration with Condo himself, the exhibition showcases the richness and diversity of the artist’s practice.

Co-Curator Edith Devaney (also Artistic Director ) highlights that the exhibition is set to uncover Condo’s relationship with art historical figures from the Old Masters to Picasso, as well as his contemporaries, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Richard Diebenkorn, Keith Haring among others. Devaney notes that Condo was “both connected to the culture of his time while also reimagining his relationship with the entirety of European art, and was confident in presenting these two wildly differing perspectives within one composition.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore Condo’s bold artistic vision, from October 10, 2025 - February 8, 2026.
