Don't miss the opportunity to admire the most popular contemporary artists such as Banksy, Jeff Koons and Mr. Brainwash, but also the artists who have characterised the history of 20th-century art such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Mirò and Marc Chagall.
Among the world's most valued street artists, Thierry Guetta (aka Mr. Brainwash) is known for his colourful and joyful works that merge images from popular culture, art history, media and advertising. Slogans such as Life Is Beautiful and Never Give Up have become trademarks of his art.
In 2010, he starred in the celebrated docu-film directed by Banksy Exit Through the Gift Shop.
Marked by continuous study and experimentation, Pablo Picasso's painting style deals with the many emotional impulses and intimate events of the artist's life. His best-known paintings include Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and Guernica.
Along with George Braque, Picasso is the founder of Cubism, a movement that multiplies points of view and breaks down the image reproducing it multiple times on the same surface.
Provocative and unmistakable, Jeff Koons is one of the undisputed protagonists of the contemporary art world. Born in 1955 in York, Pennsylvania, he has explored the concept of consumerism and celebrity with works that often border the scandalous. His best-known series include the stainless steel sculptures Balloon Animals and the Gazing Ball and Antiquity series.
In 2019, a 1986 Rabbit by Koons fetched $91 million at auction, making him the world's highest-priced living artist.
