An exhibition will explore the artistic world of Marc Chagall (1887–1985), known for lovers, bouquets and figures floating in dreams, across not only painting but also sculpture, ceramics and stained glass. It will spotlight the experiments Chagall, renowned for his vivid colors, pursued through a range of materials and media.

Centre Pompidou Hanwha announced on October 28 that it will hold “Chagall, Ever Crossing” in Exhibition Hall 1 at Centre Pompidou Hanwha in Yeouido, Seoul, from November 24 through March 28, 2027.

This is the second collection exhibition presenting works from the collection of the Centre Pompidou in France. It will feature 65 works, including paintings, sculptures and ceramics, from the Centre Pompidou’s collection, including works on deposit at 10 institutions in France. Reproductions of stained glass works and media art will also be on display.

The Centre Pompidou built a collection of Chagall’s work that is important on a global scale after receiving donations of works that the artist’s family personally handed over at his studio. The exhibition will trace how Chagall developed his visual language amid the upheavals of his time, through works spanning approximately 70 years, from the 1900s to the 1970s.

In his paintings, Chagall expressed themes such as love, memory, his homeland and religious symbols through distinctive imagery. Born in Vitebsk in the Russian Empire, he was active primarily in France and experienced wars and exile in Europe, as well as new artistic movements. The course of his life is reflected in the landscapes of his homeland, figures, animals and fantastical spaces that he repeatedly depicted.

The exhibition is drawing particular attention for introducing Chagall’s sculptures and ceramics, which have been relatively difficult to see in Korea. Visitors will be able to explore how the artist’s work, known primarily for its two-dimensional paintings, expanded into three-dimensional forms and craft media.

Early-bird tickets will also go on sale ahead of the exhibition’s opening. From 10 a.m. on October 28 through November 3, 3,000 adult tickets will be available for a limited time at KRW 17,500, a 30% discount from the regular price of KRW 25,000.
