Featured Events in Paris in September, 2025 (May Updated)

The shortlist for this year’s Prix Marcel Duchamp, announced by the Association for the International Diffusion of French Art (ADIAF) is: Bianca Bondi (born 1986 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Lives and works in Paris); Eva Nielsen (born 1983 in Les Lilas, France. Lives and works in Paris); Lionel Sabatté (born 1975 in Toulouse, France. Lives and works in Paris and Los Angeles); and Xie Lei (born 1983 in Huainan, China. Lives and works in Paris). Endowed with €90,000, the Prix Marcel Duchamp is the most prestigious contemporary art prize in France. It is awarded every year by the ADIAF to recognise contemporary art production by artists who are French or who live in the country. The prize is followed by an exhibition of the shortlisted artists. This year, for the first time since the creation of the prize in 2000, the exhibition will not be held at the Centre Pompidou, which will be closed for renovation. Instead, the exhibition will take place at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris from 26 September 2025 through 22 February 2026. The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is set to host the exhibitions of the Marcel Duchamp Prize until 2029.

The exhibition traces the extraordinary life of this Italian artist, a Russian prince by birth and Parisian by adoption, who also had a brilliant career in the United States. A highly talented portraitist, he was much sought-after by a cosmopolitan elite, celebrities, the Parisian smart set and the first American film stars. His life was marked by decisive encounters and friendships with men of letters, Tolstoy in Russia and George Bernard Shaw in Paris, with whom he shared a vegetarian lifestyle, somewhat unusual for the era. In addition to the portraits that made his name, the exhibition will be highlighting his animal sculptures along with his astonishing work on behalf of animal rights, of which he was an ardent advocate well ahead of his time.

Guillaume Bottazzi a réalisé un tableau fruité en face du parc Montsouris. Il est visible de l’extérieur, au 34-36 avenue Reille, à Paris dans le 14ème arrondissement. Ce tableau apporte l’art ou on ne l’attend pas forcément et accompagne le quotidien des habitants. Cette huile sur toile de lin mesure 0,90m de haut par 1,80m de large. Elle a été conçue pour habiller l’entrée d’un bâtiment et dialogue avec les éléments qui l’entourent. L’artiste a déjà créé plus de 65 œuvres dans des espaces publics, comme un polyptique de 100m² à Paris La Défense, à Hong-Kong ou au Japon où il est l'auteur de la plus grande peinture du Pays, commandée par le Musée International d'Art Miyanomori. Ses œuvres font partie de collections muséales, notamment en Asie et aux Etats-Unis.

The Louvre’s Department of Near Eastern Antiquities is hosting ten major works from New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art is currently closed for renovation. The Louvre and The Met have created a unique dialogue between these two collections, which is displayed in the Louvre’s permanent galleries. These ‘special guest’ artworks from The Met, dating from between the late 4th millennium BC and the 5th century AD, show some remarkable connections with the Louvre’s collection. In some cases, a pair of objects has been reunited for the first time, while in others, pieces complement each other by virtue of specific historical features of their respective collections. Representing Central Asia, Syria, Iran and Mesopotamia, this dialogue between collections is (re)introducing visitors to these extraordinary, age-old works of art and the stories they tell.

The Musée national Picasso-Paris collection is the fruit of an extraordinary history, made possible by the dation procedure - today it is the largest public collection of works by Picasso, the "Picassos of Picasso". Coming from the artist's studios, this collection gives us a better grasp of the aesthetic explorations of a Picasso who was by turns disconcerting, plural, contradictory, reflexive, gestural and conceptual, an aesthete and a committed activist, a tinkerer and a poet. Is he symbolist, cubist, classical, surrealist or simply figurative and political?

At the invitation of the Musée national Picasso-Paris, Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca (b. 1961) has created a site-specific work in the chapel of the Hôtel Salé. Since his intervention at the Venice Biennale in 2007, Kuitca has developed a new language, echoing the architecture, which the artist calls ‘cubistoid painting’, in which a set of intersecting lines, like so many folds in the plane, is deployed directly on the walls, forming a new pictorial space.

A pioneer of Neo-Impressionism and a pillar of anarchist and libertarian circles, Maximilien Luce (1858-1941) marked his era with a profound artistic and political commitment. A painter of urban and rural landscapes and the human condition, he captured the social and industrial transformations of his time with a unique sensitivity. The first Parisian retrospective since 1983 dedicated to this major Neo-Impressionist painter, the exhibition is held just steps from where Luce resided from 1887 to 1900, on Rue Cortot. Rooted in the history of Montmartre and the contradictions of his time, the painter's work is highlighted in this exhibition, which aims to reaffirm his importance and introduce his often overlooked oeuvre to the general public. Besides the humanist character that made the man's heart beat and distinguished his entire oeuvre, landscape was the other dominant theme that animated his painting throughout his life. Luce captures light and color, revealing the beauty of urban and rural landscapes with a persistent social sensitivity. For the exhibition "Maximilien Luce, the Instinct for Landscape," the Musée de Montmartre has chosen to present his work through the prism of landscape, taking visitors on a retrospective journey between the two essential centers of his life: Paris and Rolleboise. Visitors are invited to follow the artist's wanderings from Montmartre, where he lived from 1887 to 1900, through the bustle of the Parisian streets, and through his travels from Saint-Tropez to the Pays-Noir of Charleroi, via the Netherlands, Normandy, and London.

Gaza is home to a wealth of archaeological sites from all periods that are now in peril. The IMA is therefore offering an exceptional collection in more ways than one, made up of highly valuable pieces that the vagaries of history have saved from disaster and which reveal the depth of its history, a priceless treasure whose complexity is reflected in this exhibition. Since 2007, the Geneva Museum of Art and History (MAH) has become the museum-refuge for an archaeological collection of nearly 529 works belonging to the Palestinian National Authority and which have never been able to return to Gaza: these amphorae, statuettes, funerary steles, oil lamps, figurines, mosaics, etc., dating from the Bronze Age to the Ottoman era, form a collection that has become a reference in light of the recent destruction.

World-renowned for its stone monuments, Khmer art also produced significant bronze statuary, knowledge of which has undergone spectacular advances thanks to recent excavations. The Guimet Museum is dedicating the exhibition Royal Bronzes of Angkor: An Art of the Divine to bronze. The highlight of this exhibition is the statue of the reclining Vishnu from the Western Mebon—an 11th-century sanctuary west of Angkor—discovered in 1936, which originally measured over five meters in length. This Cambodian national treasure will be exhibited for the first time with its long-separated fragments, after benefiting from a scientific analysis and restoration campaign in France in 2024, with the patronage of ALIPH (International Alliance for the Protection of Heritage). It will be accompanied by more than 200 works, including 126 exceptional loans from the National Museum of Cambodia, whose presence allows for a chronological journey of bronze art in Cambodia, from the 9th century to the present day, through a journey leading the visitor to the major sites of Khmer heritage.

To conclude the program within the building, which will close for five years of renovation, German artist Wolfgang Tillmans (born in 1968, Germany) has been given carte blanche to take over the 6,000 m² of Level 2 of the Bibliothèque publique d’information (Bpi). He will explore both the library’s form—its architecture and layout—and its functions, such as the transmission of knowledge, accessibility, and resource sharing, through the lens of his aesthetic universe.Rooted in the counterculture spirit of the early 1990s, Tillmans' photographic work delves into the profound transformation of media and information platforms in our time. By proposing new ways of making, viewing, and confronting images—both with each other and across disciplines such as video, music, text, and performance—he invites us to embrace a renewed humanism.

Paul Poiret, the legendary French designer who led the revolution, opened the prototype of modern fashion in the 20th century with his mysterious design elements that advocated oriental aesthetics, and once created the amazing "Oriental style clothing". As a fantasy master in the fashion industry and an aesthetic dictator who is regarded as the "King of Fashion", Paul is also the first designer to establish a perfume company. His talent extends to interior design and he has become the ancestor of the fusion of fashion and lifestyle. In 2025, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris will launch a special exhibition to commemorate the figure of this legendary master who ignited the fashion revolution with the flowing clothing silhouette and colorful colors. The exhibition content will focus on Paul Poiret's fashion design, decorative art, and perfumery, and then go deep into topics such as party style and food taste, recreating the dreamlike fashion scene in the early 20th century and remembering the master together.
