Waddington Custot gallery has opened a new Paris location in Saint-Germain-des-Prés with the inaugural exhibition "The Nabi Shock." The show presents works by key figures of the late-19th-century Nabis movement, including Émile Bernard, Pierre Bonnard, and Edouard Vuillard, alongside contemporary artists like Fabienne Verdier and Pierre Knop to illustrate the movement's ongoing influence.
The exhibition highlights the Nabis' revolutionary role in bridging Impressionism and Modernism through abstraction and symbolism. Its opening coincides with renewed institutional interest in the movement and marks the gallery's strategic expansion, reinforcing its commitment to connecting historic French modern art with contemporary practice in a major art market hub.
