Kandinsky Retrospective Exhibition at Pompidou Centre Paris

The Pompidou Centre will host the greatest Kandinsky retrospective of all time. After the vast success it has enjoyed in Munich, this exhibition features a wide range of works from different periods of the distinguished painter. Many paintings are loans from museums as far apart from each other as Russia, USA or Germany. From April 8th to August 10th the Pompidou Centre will bring together more than 100 paintings collected from these museums, whose Kandinsky collections include the largest compilation of this great painter. In addition, there will be on show some master pieces coming from significant public and private collections.

This major retrospective honours the work of one of the 20th century’s key figures, Wassily Kandinsky. He is considered the founder of abstract painting and great theorists of Modernism. He was born in Moscow in 1866 and he died in 1944 in Paris, and is seen as one of the great innovators in twentieth-century art.

This show will include only major paintings that were decisive in Kandinsky’s artistic development. It brings together such important paintings as the Impressions and the Improvisations. The Pompidou Centre will focus on Kandinsky’s work during the Russian Revolution and his time at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau up to 1933. But it is also possible to see the famous Blue Rider collection. The collaboration between he Guggenheim, the Pompidou, and the Lenbachhaus museums will bring together works such as Munich’s early masterpiece, A Colourful Life (1907), or the Guggenheim’s Light Picture (1913) never before seen together.
Kandinsky is curated by Christian Derouet, Curator at the Musee national d’art moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris; Tracey Bashkoff, Associate Curator for Collections and Exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; and Annegret Hoberg, Curator at the Stadtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich. Karole Vail, Assistant Curator, assisted with the organization of the New York presentation.
