Images, bodies, power The 80s in the Lambert Collection

The rooms now host monographic presentations by artists or highlight key periods in the collection and in the history of contemporary art, in rotation throughout the year.

The exhibition inaugurating this lively, year-round collection will be devoted to the 1980s. This pivotal period, marked by profound aesthetic, political and social upheavals, appears as a moment of reaffirmation of the power of the image, marked by a return to the human figure. The place of the body is central: exultant, absent or relegated to the margins, the staged body has a profoundly political dimension.
