ARTISTS
惭颈谤贸 and the United States
An intergenerational dialogue between Joan 惭颈谤贸 and artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Arshile Gorky, Alice Trumbull Mason, Jackson Pollock or Mark Rothko, among many others, showing how their creative practices mutually enriched and contributed to the development of 20th-century art.
The exhibition will include more than 130 works from American and European collections, as well as from the Fundaci贸 Joan 惭颈谤贸's own collection, both by 惭颈谤贸 and by a range of artists from various generations.
Through this exchange, the exhibition reconfigures the understanding of the place of 惭颈谤贸's work in the history of art, shifting the customary focus on France and placing the United States as a pivotal point in his artistic development. This new narrative not only revisits 惭颈谤贸's legacy, but also highlights the importance of many female artists of the period. These creators were essential in redefining contemporary art, whether as references for other artists or as protagonists of innovative currents such as gestural painting, abstraction and action painting.
At the centre of 惭颈谤贸 and the United States is the period marked by 惭颈谤贸's two retrospectives in New York, in 1941 and 1959, and the seven visits he made to the United States between 1947 and 1968, which allowed him to extend connections.The exhibition is co-organised with The Phillips Collection, Washington, and it can also be seen there from 21 March to 5 July 2026.
