Norman Foster
10 May - 7 August 2023
Galerie 1, Level 6
Centre Pompidou, Paris
The largest retrospective spanning the oeuvre of Norman Foster’s work over the last six decades has opened at the Centre Pompidou, in the presence of Rima Abdul Malak, the French Minister of Culture, and Laurent Le Bon, President of the Centre Pompidou.
The exhibition has been curated by Frédéric Migayrou, Deputy Director of the MNAM-CCI (Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre de Création Industrielle), designed by Norman Foster and executed in collaboration with Foster + Partners and the Norman Foster Foundation. It explores the architect’s work through an unprecedented selection of his sketches and drawings and the prism of seven themes: Nature and Urbanity; Skin and Bones; Vertical City; History and Tradition; Planning and Places; Networks and Mobility and Future. Drawings, sketches, original scale models and dioramas, along with many videos, will enable visitors to delve into approximately 130 major projects.
