The paintings, drawings and sculptural work of George Condo (*1957) offer a virtuosic examination of a wide range of art-historical idioms, which he transforms into his own visual language. He depicts grotesque, tragicomic and sometimes monstrous subjects with stylistic elements from seventeenth-century Venetian or Dutch painting, but also Cubism, Surrealism and Pop Art. The New York-based artist has been associated with the gallery for over three decades, having mounted one of the first solo exhibitions of his career at Galerie Monika Sprüth in 1984.

George Condo
Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris
Through February 8, 2026
The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is organizing, in collaboration with the artist, the most significant exhibition to date of George Condo’s work. A painter, draftsman, and sculptor, George Condo has created a unique pictorial world, drawing inspiration from a profuse visual culture spanning Western art history, from the Old Masters to the present. The exhibition aims to revisit over four decades of George Condo’s career by presenting his most emblematic works. Many works from major American and European museums (MoMA, the MET, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art) and private collections are brought together for the first time in Paris thanks to this project. The exhibition features roughly 80 paintings, 110 drawings—grouped together in a space devoted to graphic arts—and some twenty sculptures interspersed throughout the exhibition.
