Bracha L. Ettinger now on view in the exhibition “Copyists” at Centre Pompidou Metz, in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre.

Through February 2, 2026

Curators: Donatien Grau, advisor for contemporary programs at the Musée du Louvre, and Chiara Parisi, director of the Centre Pompidou-Metz

Copyists is a creative exhibition – as much an X-ray of contemporary art as an exhibition for art history enthusiasts. All works on view were conceived, prepared and assembled to be shown at the Centre Pompidou-Metz. For over a year, one hundred artists who are not copyists at first glance, examined their relationship with works in the Louvre. They browsed galleries, databases and publications, drawing on memory to recall the moment that provoked an awakening in them, revealing a miraculous encounter. They then conceived their work.
