From April 10 to August 2, 2026, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is featuring the largest retrospective devoted to Lee Miller in France in twenty years.
Initiated by the Tate Britain and in collaboration with the Art Institute of Chicago, the exhibition brings together roughly 250 vintage and modern prints, some of which have never been exhibited, offering a fresh perspective on her oeuvre.
A key figure of the international avant-garde, Lee Miller (1907-1977) was by turns a fashion model, surrealist artist, portraitist, fashion photographer, and war correspondent accredited by the U.S. army. Long relegated to the role of muse, she is now recognized as one of the major twentieth-century photographers.
The exhibition follows her entire career, from her beginnings in New York to the war years in Europe, including her stint in Egypt and her life in London. It showcases the breadth of a body of work in which formal experimentation, visual boldness, and political engagement coexist.
Eighteen years after the last French retrospective at the Jeu de Paume, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris proposes an exhibition in six sections, combining both chronological and thematic approaches
