Le Figaro just published a list of some of the most interesting shows coming to Paris this year. There will be a Warhol show at the Grand Palais, Calder at the Beaubourg and Robert Frank at the Jeu de Paume, among others. For a more complete list :

The most unusual show will be Feb 21-23, the Yves St Laurent - Pierre Bergé collection which is going up for auction on the 24th at Christies.

My daughter and I visited the Yves St Laurent exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts last summer. It was a wonderful introduction to his work and the manniquins were dressed with his original designs as well as the actual accessories used when the pieces were first shown on the runaway. YSL passed away just a few days after the exhibit opened, adding a poignancy to the show.

I believe the same museum is now showing the Andy Wharhol show, Montreal seems to be on the cutting edge these days!

I wish - that will be amazing - I am very very tempted to come over for that exhibition . MMMMMM plotting !!!!!

Merci! So I apparently missed the great YSL auction on Monday! Probably a good thing for my pocket book (as if!) .

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
