Winter expositions at the Grand Palais

An overview of the winter exhibitions at the Grand Palais - all are worthy of a visit. For general information regarding the Grand Palais, refer to my Grand Palais guide.

1.  Hokusai - One of my favourite artists, and with a huge and varied collection on display, this exposition certainly delivers. It follows a chronological order, generally broken up according to the different aliases that Hokusai used throughout his life. It includes some of his famous Thirty-six views of Mt Fuji series, and my personal favourite, painting instruction manuals created during his Taitō period.

••  Runs 1 Oct 2014 - 20 Nov 2014 & 1 Dec 2014 - 18 Jan 2015 (Clemenceau entrance)

2. Niki de Saint Phalle - A retrospective of Saint Phalle. Highlights include: a body of works where she covered paint tins and bags with plaster and then shot at them to release explosions of colour; her distinctive sculptures known as Nanas; and her Tarot Garden, a sculpture park with sculptures based on Tarot card symbols.

••  Runs 17 Sep 2014 - 2 Feb 2015 (Champs-Élysées entrance)

3. Haiti - An upcoming exposition based on Haitian art. I'll update the post once it's opened.

••  Runs 19 Nov 2014 to 15 Feb 2015 (Southeast Gallery entrance)
