Invited by the MAH, the “la Caixa” Foundation proposes, through the works of eighteen artists from its collection, an exploration of contemporary art through the prism of the past with L’image revenante. Inspired by the world of Marcel Duchamp, this exhibition explores the ways in which artists confront art history and tradition: through homage, quotation, parody or opposition. Works by Mike Kelley, Vanessa Beecroft, Cindy Sherman, Julian Schnabel, Antonio Saura and Sherrie Levine are presented for the first time in Geneva, the historic center of the Reformation and of debates on the power and persistence of images.

The contemporary art collection of the “la Caixa” Foundation, created in the mid-1980s, has become a benchmark in Europe and one of the most important in the world.

Opening Wednesday, December 11, 18:00.

Guided tours of the exhibition with an art historian.
