This exhibition at the Grand Palais focuses on three figures: Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, and their friend Pontus Hultén. The first two were artists and a married couple, while the third was the first director of the Centre Pompidou. The exhibition’s narrative is woven from the intersection of their creative work and careers.
The nude is one of the oldest and most controversial subjects in art history. When Carpeaux’s sculpture *The Dance* was first exhibited, an outraged viewer threw ink at it, claiming it was too naked. Manet’s *Olympia* was condemned as scandalous. Courbet’s *The Origin of the World* was kept locked away in a collector’s study, hidden behind a curtain, and was only made public in modern times.
