Hauser & Wirth New York, a titan of the contemporary art world, is set to unveil Francis Picabia. Eternal Beginning, a transformative exhibition spotlighting the final, explosive chapter of the French avant-garde legend’s career. From May 1 to August 1, 2025, this landmark showcase invites audiences to rediscover over 20 seminal paintings created between 1945 and 1952, a period long overshadowed yet brimming with radical experimentation. Curated in collaboration with the Comité Picabia and featuring groundbreaking archival discoveries, the exhibition redefines Picabia’s legacy as a pioneer of postwar abstraction. Dive into his “third path” beyond surrealism, witness the birth of Art Informel, and unravel the hidden layers of his canvases through cutting-edge X-ray imaging. This is not just an exhibition; it’s a revelation.
