Yves Saint Laurent - 60 years that unite 6 iconic museums
Yves Saint Laurent celebrates its 60th anniversary in an unprecedented exhibition, bringing together iconic pieces from the brand distributed across the 6 most famous museums in Paris
Yves Saint Laurent will bring together six Parisian museums in honor of its 60 years of history. The Center Pompidou, the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, the Musée du Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée National Picasso-Paris and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris were chosen for this deep dive into the inspiring bond that the couturier had with art in general and with the collections of French public museums in particular.
His never-ending fascination with the visual arts, both contemporary and historical, prodoundly informed and energized his work. This expansive new exhibition seeks to reconstitute the immersity of cultures and artistic movements from which Saint Laurent was inspired.
Concieved as a kind of archipelago, the exhibition will offer new forms of dialogue and encourage visitors to create their own itineraries from one museum to another, leading them to less familiar terrain or new aesthetic terrain.
Yves Saint Laurent Aux Musées seeks to go beyond the traditional framework of an exhibition and how it is lived, opening the exhibition to elements that would otherwise go unnoticed, playing with multiple affinities, unsuspected connections. The exhibition offers, as a result, a new perspective on the work of Yves Saint Laurent.
