Palace of Fine Arts hosts 41 works from Paris’s Centre Pompidou
Mexico’s Palace of Fine Arts is showing 41 works from the Centre Pompidou, the Paris museum whose collection is on loan.
The exhibition, titled *The Forms of Energy*, explores how energy drove visual experimentation in the 20th century.
The works explore movement, light and color, and the exhibition is arranged around five themes.
The show is part of a cultural program marking 200 years of friendship between Mexico and France.
It was organized with Mexico’s National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature and the federal Culture Secretariat, with curators Carlos E. Palacios and Marion Guibert.
The collaboration comes as the Centre Pompidou undergoes a renovation planned to finish in 2030; Mexican architect Frida Escobedo and her studio also worked on the exhibition’s design.
