MODERN ART

In the steps of Monet

We all recall the exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris, that opened 24/7 during the last weeks and attracted over 900 000 persons during the winter of 2010-2011. The Fondation Beyeler in Basel should also be completely booked from 22 January to 28 May 2017 with the retrospective it has prepared on Monet to celebrate its 20 years of activity: it will present 63 works by the Impressionist painter who Ernst Beyeler, as a gallery owner, dealt with regularly. One of the artist’s close friends, Pissarro, will be hosted at the musée Marmottan in Paris from 23 February to 2 July 2017 for a similarly rich gathering. Other stars will have less glorious events in their honor, like Picasso –quite unusual- shown from the bias of his first wife, Olga Picasso at Musée Picasso in Paris, from 21 March to 3 September).
