Mark Rothko Fondation Louis Vuitton
MARK ROTHKO
Du 18 octobre 2023 au 2 avril 2024 Première rétrospective en France consacrée à Mark Rothko (1903-1970) depuis celle du musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris en 1999, l’exposition présentée à la Fondation Louis Vuitton à partir du 18 octobre 2023 réunit quelque 115 œuvres provenant des plus grandes collections institutionnelles et privées internationales, notamment de la National Gallery of Art de Washington, de la famille de l’artiste et de la Tate de Londres. Se déployant dans la totalité des espaces de la Fondation, selon un parcours chronologique, elle retrace l’ensemble de la carrière de l’artiste depuis ses premières peintures figuratives jusqu’à l’abstraction qui définit aujourd’hui son œuvre. “Je ne m’intéresse qu’à l’expression des émotions humaines fondamentales...” Mark Rothko L’exposition s’ouvre sur des scènes intimistes et des paysages urbains – telles les scènes du métro new-yorkais –, qui dominent dans les années 1930, avant de céder la place à un répertoire inspiré des mythes antiques et du surréalisme à travers lesquels s’exprime, pendant la guerre, la dimension tragique de la condition humaine. À partir de 1946, Rothko opère un tournant décisif vers l’abstraction dont la première phase est celle des Multiformes, où des masses chromatiques en suspension tendent à s’équilibrer. Progressivement, leur nombre diminue et l’organisation spatiale de sa peinture évolue rapidement vers ses œuvres dites « classiques » des années 1950 où se superposent des formes rectangulaires suivant un rythme binaire ou ternaire, caractérisées par des tons jaunes, rouges, ocre, orange, mais aussi bleus, blancs... En 1958, Rothko reçoit la commande d’un ensemble de peintures murales destinées au restaurant Four Seasons conçu par Philip Johnson pour le Seagram Building – dont Ludwig Mies van der Rohe dirige la construction à New York. Rothko renonce finalement à livrer la commande et conserve l’intégralité de la série. Onze ans plus tard, en 1969, l’artiste fera don à la Tate Gallery de neuf de ces peintures qui se distinguent des précédentes par leurs teintes d’un rouge profond, constituant une salle exclusivement dédiée à son travail au sein des collections. Cet ensemble est présenté exceptionnellement dans l’exposition. Crédits : Mark Rothko, No. 14, 1960 - Huile sur toile, 289.6 x 266.7 cm |

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Debuts First-Ever Exhibition to Focus on Relationship Between John Singer Sargent’s Portraits and Fashion
On view October 8, 2023–January 15, 2024 BOSTON (August 9, 2023) - John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) brought his sitters to life, but he did much more than simply record what appeared before him. He pinned and draped, he changed or ignored decorative details, and sometimes he simply made it up. Organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), and Tate Britain, Fashioned by Sargent explores the artist’s influence over his sitters’ images by illuminating the liberties he took with sartorial choices to express distinctive personalities, social positions, professions, gender identities and nationalities. The exhibition features approximately 50 paintings by Sargent—including major loans from museums and private collections around the world—along with more than a dozen dresses and accessories. Several of these garments are reunited for the first time with Sargent’s portraits of the sitters who once wore them. Through the lens of dress, Fashioned by Sargent presents exciting new scholarship and offers a new perspective on the artist’s creative practice. Fashioned by Sargent is sponsored by Bank of America. Generously supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art, and Tom and Bonnie Rosse. Additional support from Lynn Dale and Frank Wisneski, the Barbara M. Eagle Exhibition Fund, the MFA Associates / MFA Senior Associates Exhibition Endowment Fund, the Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Fund for Exhibitions, and the Alexander M. Levine and Dr. Rosemarie D. Bria-Levine Exhibition Fund. Fashioned by Sargent is co-organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Tate Britain, London. |

UNTIL 14 JANUARY 2024 A major exhibition about the artists of the renowned Casablanca Art School Tate St Ives will be the first museum in the UK to explore the intense period of artistic rebirth that followed Morocco’s independence, forged by the experimental teaching methods of the Casablanca Art School in the 1960s and 1970s. Led by Farid Belkahia alongside Mohammed Chabâa, Mohamed Melehi and others, this pioneering school paved the way for a new generation of socially engaged modern artists who formed an influential avant-garde network. Works by 22 artists will be brought together to demonstrate the wide variety of the Moroccan ‘new wave’, from vibrant abstract paintings and urban murals to applied arts, typography, graphics and interior design. The exhibition will also include a selection of rarely-seen print archives, vintage journals, documentary photographs and films. This exhibition is a collaboration between Tate St Ives and Sharjah Art Foundation, where it will open in February 2024. It is also part of a key moment of international research into the Casablanca Art School, which includes a collaborative project initiated in 2020 between KW Institute for Contemporary Art and Sharjah Art Foundation, in partnership with Goethe-Institut Marokko, ThinkArt and Zamân Books & Curating.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tate St Ives, Their Majesties The King and Queen visited the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden today. They were given a tour of Hepworth’s studio and garden, which is cared for by Tate St Ives, and were introduced to several people who have played important roles in Tate St Ives’s success over the past 30 years. The visit was hosted by Anne Barlow (Director of Tate St Ives) and Roland Rudd (Chair of Tate). Their Majesties began their visit in Hepworth’s beautiful studio space, filled with some of the artist’s most famous works in wood, bronze, marble and plaster. Dr Sophie Bowness (Barbara Hepworth’s granddaughter) introduced the history of the building, alongside Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia (Trustee of Tate) and Sir Anthony Salz (Chair of Tate St Ives Advisory Council). The King and Queen then had a tour of Hepworth’s garden and the many sculptures on display there. Head Gardener Jodi Dickinson, who began his career in horticulture thanks to the support of The Prince’s Trust, described how he has worked to restore the garden to its former glory. Together they planted a penstemon shrub to celebrate the royal visit, and Their Majesties were presented with a gift of some rare seeds from a cineraria which was originally planted by Hepworth herself. |
