Featuring exceptional loans, including one from the Musée d’art moderne de Paris, (Composition 228, 1966, oil on canvas, 195 × 130 cm), this will be the most important exhibition in recent years dedicated to this Franco-Chinese painter.

This exhibition will challenge the classic retrospective, opening with recent large works and progressing in reverse chronological order back to his earliest small-format paintings. The three-dimensional scenography will guide visitors through a series of emblematic paintings produced from 1955 onwards, the year Chu settled permanently in Paris, close to the Western avant-garde.
