Additional Information
About Sargent & Paris
Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the artist’s death, Sargent & Paris will explore the early career of John Singer Sargent (born 1856, Florence; died 1925, London), from his arrival in Paris in 1874 as a talented 18-year-old art student through the mid-1880s, when his infamous portrait Madame X was a scandalous success at the Paris Salon. Featuring a substantial collection of paintings, watercolors, and drawings, the exhibition will also include a select group of portraits by Sargent’s contemporaries. The exhibition is the largest international exhibition of Sargent’s work since 1998 and the first ever monographic exhibition of Sargent’s art in France. Learn more.
