Adya & Otto van Rees. At the Heart of the Avant-Gardes

This Dutch artist couple marked the history of modern art by navigating between Cubism, Dadaism, and Abstraction. For the very first time in France, the Musée de Montmartre highlights their exceptional journey and their major influence on the European art scene of the early 20th century.

The itinerary retraces their fascinating journey, from their bohemian years on the Montmartre hillside to the intellectual circles of Ascona and Zurich. This retrospective offers a fresh perspective on an inseparable duo whose creative partnership challenged the codes of their time. A rare opportunity to admire these masterpieces brought together in the historical setting of their beginnings, to be seen from March 20 to September 13, 2026.
