Robert Malaval Retrospective at Palais de Tokyo

exhibition · 2026-04-23

A retrospective of Robert Malaval, whose work prefigures contemporary artistic attitudes, was held at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris from October 8, 2005 to January 8, 2006. Malaval, once overlooked, is now seen as a precursor to younger artists. He famously wrote, "I like change, it's my line. The only line I can find for myself. Let's say my line is to have none."
