Dessins sans limite. Chefs-d’œuvre de la collection du Centre Pompidou

December 16, 2025 – March 15, 2026

Step inside one of the world’s most incredible creative archives. The Centre Pompidou’s collection of graphic arts is home to over 35,000 drawings, and for the first time, we are bringing nearly 300 of these treasures into the spotlight. Featuring works by 120 legendary artists—including icons like Basquiat, Delaunay, and Kentridge—this exhibition celebrates an art form that is constantly being reinvented.

While this is one of the greatest global gatherings of 20th and 21st-century works on paper, it has never been showcased in a major, exclusive exhibition until now. “Limitless Drawings” is your chance to discover these rarely-seen gems and explore how the simple act of drawing was completely transformed over the last century. It’s an invitation to see how artists have pushed every boundary to create something truly extraordinary.

Get ready to see major works that are rarely on public display, featuring a star-studded lineup including Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Wassily Kandinsky. You’ll also find powerful pieces by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marlene Dumas, William Kentridge, Kiki Smith, and many more. From the classic elegance of Modigliani and Klee to the bold energy of Rauschenberg and De Kooning, this exhibition proves that when it comes to drawing, there really are no limits.
