Bodies and souls - Pinault Collection

Exhibition Catalogue Bodies and Souls et âmes, presented in the Pinault Collection, Bourse de Commerce de Paris (until 25th August 2025).

From Auguste Rodin to Duane Hanson, from Georg Baselitz to Ana Mendieta, from David Hammons to Marlene Dumas, from Arthur Jafa to Ali Cherri, some forty artists explore the links between body and mind through painting, sculpture, photography, video and drawing.

The presentation explores the importance of the body in contemporary thinking. Freed from any mimetic straitjacket, the body, whether photographed, drawn, sculpted, filmed or painted, never ceases to reinvent itself, giving art an essential organicity that allows it, like an umbilical cord, to take the pulse of the human body and soul.
