Museum exhibition
Nathalie Du Pasquier and Francesco Vezzoli take part in Copyists, an exceptional collaboration with the Musée du Louvre, the Centre Pompidou-Metz.
Copying was central to the classical tradition. Copying the works of great artists is a tool for learning about the canons, techniques and stories. Absorbing their expertise and adopting their mastery is a pathway to knowledge and artistic creation, from the most academic to the most contemporary. A number of artists have received the following invitation from the two curators: ‘Imagine a copy of a work of your choosing from the collections of the Musée du Louvre.’
