Coming Soon, a Major Exhibition of Works by John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) from his Transformative Decade in Paris with approximately 100 works of art including the iconic Madame X, Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau(1859–1915). The exhibition presents an in-depth exploration of the creation of the painting and a nuanced view of the scandal it caused.
The must-see Exhibition opens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art April 27 – August 3, 2025, in the Tisch Galleries, Gallery 899, 2nd Floor . Stay tuned for more, including all of Madame X, about which, when he sold the work to The Met in 1916, Sargent wrote that it was “the best thing I’ve done.”
