Francis Picabia “Éternal Recommencement / Eternal Beginning” solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Paris, opening today until March 12th

Curated by Beverley Calté and Arnauld Pierre, the exhibition delves into the artist’s enigmatic late period, post-1945. Picabia’s characteristic defiance of categorization resurfaces here, as he embraces abstraction while interweaving echoes of prehistoric art, Romanesque influences, and personal reinterpretations of prior works. These pieces evoke a dialogue between material texture and visual experimentation, shifting beyond wartime figurations into layered non-figurative expressions. The result is an unapologetically fluid visual lexicon—at once intimate and boundless. This cohesive curation situates Picabia’s final creative surge within post-war Parisian artistic ferment, reframing his enduring avant-garde legacy.
