Mute - Fabienne Verdier

Fabienne Verdier unleashes her powerful gesture at the City of Architecture and Heritage through a selection of forty major works. This journey retraces thirty years of creation, where the artist's giant brush enters into direct resonance with the masterpieces in the Gallery of Casts. Facing the monumental reproductions of French heritage, her canvases create a striking contrast between the immobile stone and the fluid movement of matter. This unprecedented confrontation invites a visual meditation on time and space at the heart of the Palais de Chaillot. Presented from October 22, 2025 to March 9, 2026 as part of Art Basel Paris, this retrospective brings together rarely exhibited pieces. It is a unique opportunity to admire the mastery of an artist who has revolutionized contemporary painting by bringing it to an architectural dimension.
