Paris: Capital of the Arts, 1900-1968: Royal Academy of Arts - London - Brief Article
ArtForum, Jan, 2002 by Richard Shone
When, in the 1980s, the Royal Academy instigated a series of country-by-country twentieth-century surveys, France, oddly enough, didn't get a look in. Perhaps amends are being made with this exhibition concentrating on art in Paris from the 1900 World's Fair to the 1968 student riots. With Sarah Wilson of the Courtauld Institute as chief curator (aided by Norman Rosenthal and Ann Dumas), the political and social quota will be high but not at the expense of stunning loans.
A polyglot cast--Brancusi from Romania, Kandinsky from Russia, the Americans Calder and Kelly-- take their place on stage with the locals up to and beyond Paris's postwar decline as "the place to be." Jan. 26-Apr. 19; Guggenheim Bilbao, May 21-Sept.3.
