William Klein retrospective at Centre Pompidou, Paris

exhibition · 2026-04-23

The Centre Pompidou in Paris presented a William Klein retrospective from December 7, 2005 to February 20, 2006. The exhibition's recommended itinerary began with a section on 'signs' and 'abstraction', then led either directly to 'Books/Cities' or via a more circular route through 'Fashion' and 'Cinema/Photographs', ending in a room dedicated to 'Painted Contacts'. This circuit aimed to trace the artist's various fields of activity both thematically and chronologically.
