How did the King of Pop leave his mark on art history beyond his music? This is the question that the Michael Jackson: icône de l’art will try and tackle next fall in the Grand Palais. Between music, fashion, dance and video installations, the Parisian exhibition is set to be a truly unmissable event of the coming year, and promises to explore a different aspect to Michael Jackson’s legacy on contemporary art. Since Andy Warhol’s 1982 pop-art portrait, contemporary art hasn’t stopped finding inspiration in the singer’s aura.
From his spectacular stage looks to his powerful songs and legendary music videos, Michael Jackson’s unique universe has become a boundless source of inspiration for artists past and present. Be it Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Isa Genzken, Paul McCarthy or Isaac Julien, over 40 works will pay tribute to the King of Pop almost ten years after his death. Discover it at the Grand Palais from November 23, 2018, to February 17, 2019.
