Meet the masters in the spotlight at the city’s major museums and galleries. Delight in the diversity of innovative techniques, design pioneers and creative excellence. Here are a few of our favourites.
Les ors d’Yves Saint Laurent
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of Yves Saint Laurent’s first collection under his own name, this exhibition focuses on the golden thread that ran throughout his prestigious career.

Highlights include David Bailey’s images of Yves Saint Laurent’s 1966 autumn/winter collection, starring Catherine Deneuve.

Faith Ringgold
As a painter, mixed media sculptor, writer and teacher, Faith Ringgold was a major figure in American feminist art. Through her expressive work, her influence continues to be felt in relation to issues surrounding the civil rights struggles and those of Black Lives Matter. Through one woman’s unique reinterpretations of modern art history, including Picasso and his ‘Demoiselles d’Avignon’, this body of work makes an impactful impression.
Until July 2
Musée Picasso
5 rue de Thorigny, 75003
Basquiat x Warhol. À quatre mains
This vibrant exhibition showcases the collaborative work of the pioneering American street artist and the leading artist of the pop-art movement. Together they created a huge body of work, which is jointly signed, alongside individual pieces and works by other innovative artists of the 1980’s New York art scene.
From April 4 until August 28

Paul Klee, peindre la musique
Music played a fundamental role throughout Paul Klee’s life and was crucial to his creative process as an artist.
