Niele Toroni's Anti-Retrospective at Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris

From April 6 to September 16, 2001, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris showcases a non-linear exhibition by Niele Toroni, who was born in 1937. This display features works placed in unconventional settings, beginning in the top-floor 'aquarium' (Arc) and concluding at the exit. It includes quadrangular brushstroke imprints created by Toroni from January 1967 to March 2001 and draws inspiration from his participation in the 1967 Salon de la jeune peinture. Notable pieces comprise '4 x 2 = 8' (1988), 'Nous tenons tous à un fil' (1996), and 'Flambo.' The exhibition catalogue, replicating an artist's book, contains reproductions of cards and 'unreal brush imprints.' Curator Carole Boulbès points out the wit in titles such as 'Objet de culte' (1981).
