David Zwirner: Kerry James Marshall's First French Retrospective to Open at MAM Paris
The Facts
The Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris will present "Kerry James Marshall: The Histories," the first exhibition in France dedicated to the artist, from September 18, 2026 to January 24, 2027. Organized by the Royal Academy of Arts in London, in collaboration with the Kunsthaus Zurich, the show includes seventy works, eight of which are new paintings created specifically for the travelling exhibition. The retrospective spans more than four decades of Marshall's career, featuring paintings, engravings, drawings, and sculpture from museums and private collections in North America and Europe.
The Signal
Marshall's first French survey marks a significant institutional milestone, reinforcing his standing as one of the most important contemporary painters. The inclusion of eight new works signals continued artistic evolution and deep engagement with art history. The collaboration between major European institutions—the Royal Academy of Arts, Kunsthaus Zurich, and the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris—underscores the global demand for Marshall's work and may further solidify his market position among collectors.
