Découvrez l'exposition « Éloge du trait » dans la collection agnès b.

At La Fab., in the 13th arrondissement, the exhibition "Éloge du trait" explores the richness of the line in all its forms. Drawings, photographs, sculptures, and installations from the agnès b. collection make up an exhibition where the line becomes a common language between the works.
