Art historian Matthieu Poirier's aim was to shine the spotlight on this British artist, with a chronological tour of the major periods in Lynn Chadwick's artistic career. In Paris, nearly 60 works produced between 1947 and 1962 can be admired. From hybrid creatures to experiments with architecture and geometric forms, this first chapter of the retrospective covers the beginnings of the sculptor's career.

The Hôtel de Sully exhibition is also on show at Galerie Perrotin Paris during the same period. Come and (re)discover this fascinating artist during Art Basel Paris!
