Works by Giulia Andreani, Glenn Brown, Jeff Koons, Victor Man and Paul McCarthy are included in Copyists, an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre, Paris. Dedicated to the creativity of copyists, this unique group exhibition explores the history of copying as a central facet of classical tradition, used as a tool for learning about the canon of art history, as much as its techniques and stories. By absorbing the expertise and mastery of prior generations of artists, copying offers a pathway to knowledge, creation and innovation.

For this exhibition, a number of contemporary artists were invited to make copies of works at the Musée du Louvre, following in the footsteps of their predecessors. Viewers are invited to perform an act of decoding, investigation and understanding, juggling old forms and new. Featuring works by painters, draughtsmen, sculptors, video artists, designers and writers, Copyists mediates the tension between originality and duplication.

Work by Giulia Andreani features in the group exhibition Fata Morgana: Memories of the Invisible at Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Milan, until 30 November 2025.

The exhibition is designed specifically for the space of Palazzo Morando, a museum dedicated to the history of Milan, and once the residence of Countess Lydia Caprara Morando Attendolo Bolognini. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Countess constructed a vast library on the occult, with spiritual and alchemical themes.  Dedicated to artistic practices propelled by the invisible, psychic automatism, and trance like states as modes of creation, Fata Morgana takes inspiration from the figure of the Countess and her esoteric archive.

The Brown Collection, London, presents Hoi Polloi, a group exhibition curated by Glenn Brown. Derived from the Greek term ‘for the people’, most often used as an insult for the ‘great unwashed masses’, Hoi Polloi brings together a number of paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures from the sixteenth century to the present, exploring how artists have represented, resisted, or reimagined the ordinary man through the lens of the spiritual.

New work by Giulia Andreani will be presented in an exhibition dedicated to the French literary figure, Colette, at the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand, Paris. Exploring themes of femininity, identity, emancipation, nature and desire in Colette’s life and work, the exhibition encapsulates the multilayered worlds of an independent woman, often ahead of her time, whose innovative, audacious and sometimes transgressive body of work remains astonishingly relevant today.

Glenn Brown and Mathew Weir: The Sight of Something (duo show)
Freud Museum, London

The Freud Museum, London, presents The Sight of Something, a joint exhibition by Glenn Brown and Mathew Weir, exploring the significance of psychoanalysis in the artists’ practices. Sigmund Freud observed in his 1922 essay ‘Medusa’s Head’ that childhood terrors can be triggered by ‘the sight of something.’ British artists Brown and Weir explore the rich ambiguity of this phrase through a selection of drawings, paintings and sculptures in dialogue with objects and artefacts throughout the Freud Museum.

A central theme of this project is mark-making, most evident in drawing and the inscription of lines, which is connected to psychoanalysis through the act of uncovering traces of the past. Here, the act of drawing becomes a means of revealing and grappling with hidden or altered experiences. Brown and Weir’s images are never fixed or absolute; like memory they are constructed, layered and distorted – shaped as much by absence and forgetting as by what is seen and remembered.

A catalogue will accompany the exhibition with an essay by Darian Leader.

Works by Glenn Brown are featured in Insights Into the Inside: Nicaea, a group exhibition at Schloss Bruck | Museum Der Stadt Lienz. The exhibition brings together the work of around thirty artists to explore the inner messages, connectedness and hope that can be recognised and experienced through spiritual aspects of contemporary art. Centring around the coexistence of temporal and eternal forms, the exhibition draws on the Council of Nicaea, convened by Emperor Constantine exactly 1700 years ago, to explore the role and accessibility of images – in other words, a look inward.

Work by Giulia Andreani is included in the group exhibition Peintures fraîches in the Galerie du temps of the Louvre-Lens, a unique space in the museum which encourages dialogue between different artistic forms, technologies and temporalities. The exhibition invites viewers to journey through a ‘River of Time’, bringing together a selection of works which span over 5,000 years of art history. Within the presentation, Andreani’s painting Les Cafus (Europe et Cadmos), 2024, draws inspiration from archival documents to question history and its reception through time. Working in her distinctive palette of Payne’s Grey, Andreani reimagines two female miners, ‘cafus’, who worked underground in the area surrounding the Louvre-Lens, built as it is on a former mining site. Here, the presence and unseen strength of these women is reactivated.

In his paintings, sculptures and drawings, Glenn Brown confronts the history of art with a contemporary understanding of paint’s materiality and a barbed sense of colour. Numbered and signed by the artist, this Collector’s Edition treats the viewer to a close encounter with Brown’s eye-deceiving renderings of brushstrokes from sources between Sci-Fi and the Old Masters.
