There was recently a show at the Pompidou Center, a really exhaustive retrospective of Surrealism.

The show, which runs through Nov. 10, presents some 60 paintings by the artist, all but two of which come from the Pompidou Center in Paris, which owns a vast trove of around 1,300 items, including his artworks, archives and the contents of his studio, donated by his widow, Nina Kandinsky.

With its quirky inside-out architecture — a tangle of colorful tubes running across the facade — the Pompidou Center has been a flagship venue for contemporary art since the 1970s.

Look to the Pompidou Center in Paris as an example, a modern glass complex with high ceilings and an abundance of natural light that is a nod to the institution’s vast contemporary collection.

PA_1500 was unveiled in February on an exterior chimney of the Pompidou Center, Paris’ foremost contemporary art museum.
