About the exhibition
By extending an invitation to Michelangelo Pistoletto, the Louvre opens a new series of exhibitions by contemporary artists. The aim of this new series is not only to present works offering a fresh perspective on the museum’s permanent collections, which has been the founding principle of the “Counterpoint” exhibitions, but also to take advantage of the artist’s presence to organize a program of fruitful encounters in collaboration with the museum’s educational and cultural staff, as well as discussions and performances in the auditorium and in the Tuileries gardens.
