Paris.- Les Arts Décoratifs is pleased to present “Goudemalion: Jean-Paul Goude a Retrospective” on view at the museum until March 18th 2012. The exhibition marks the first time that Jean-Paul Goude’s work has been exhibited in a major solo show in Paris and provides a retrospective of the artist’s creative vision and oeuvre encompassing all his areas of activity, from fashion and photography to advertising and the live event. His entire forty-year career will be retraced in the nave at Les Arts Décoratifs, featuring his drawings, objects, music, films and photographs. Conceived as a large installation, the exhibition will of course evoke the Bicentenary of the French Revolution. Visitors will be welcomed in the reception hall by one of the gigantic waltzing ladies that caused such a sensation in the 1989 parade, then discover the monumental locomotive in the middle of the nave, installed on conveyor belt surrounded by numerous drawings.
