Elles@centrepompidou At the Pompidou Center, Paris
Well worth a visit is the Pompidou Centre's yearlong exhibition devoted to women artists from the permanent collection. For the first time, a museum is displaying and spotlighting the feminine side of its own collections, showing its commitment to women artists and placing them at the core of modern and contemporary art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Key figures such as Sonia Delaunay, Frida Kahlo, Dorothea Tanning, Joan Mitchell and Maria-Elena Vieira da Silva rub shoulders with today's great female creators some of whom, including Sophie Calle, Annette Messager and Louise Bourgeois have been featured recently in monographic exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou.
