Raza was a founding member of the Progressive Artists Group (P.A.G.) whose plastic experiments outlined the contours of a generation of cosmopolitan artists as early as 1947. He settled in Paris in 1950. The stages marking the artist's development are presented in chronological order in the exhibition, providing milestones that enable us to grasp the complexity of the modern Indian project from the 1950s to 1990, and the issues defining the globalised space of contemporary creation.

With nearly one hundred pieces, this exhibition is the first monographic presentation of the work of Indian painter Sayed Haider Raza (1922 – 2016) in France, where he lived and worked from 1950 to 2011. It follows the formal and conceptual developments of a body of modern work that exemplifies transcultural dynamics and their issues in 20th century art.

A New Step in François Pinault’s Cultural Project
The Bourse de Commerce —Pinault Collection, a new museum in the network of sites and initiatives developed since 2006 by François Pinault, will open its doors in the spring of 2021, in the heart of Paris. The Bourse de Commerce will offer a glimpse of the collection of contemporary works that François Pinault has built up for over forty years, through a programme of exhibitions and events. As a new Parisian museum, in which this assemblage, which is unique in the world, can be seen, understood, and appreciated, the Bourse de Commerce, restored and transformed by the architect Tadao Ando, with Lucie Niney and Thibaut Marca of the NeM agency and Pierre-Antoine Gatier, opens up an original dialogue between heritage and contemporary creation.
