Annette Messager and Christian Boltanski are two major French artists who have been recognized internationally since the 1970s. As life partners, they decided early on to separate their careers in order to succeed independently of each other. The exhibition aims to reestablish the dialogue between their works by revealing affinities that have rarely been analyzed, due to the few confrontations that have taken place over time.
