Georges Mathieu

In 2025, the Monnaie de Paris partners with the Centre Pompidou to present a retrospective of the artist Georges Mathieu, the inventor of lyrical abstraction and a prolific artist.

Both chronological and thematic, the exhibition traces Georges Mathieu’s career from the 1940s—when he contributed to the creation of an international abstract expressionism—through to the 1990s, with a strong emphasis on the Mathieu collection of the Musée National d’Art Moderne.
