Mickalene Thomas

December 17, 2025 – April 5, 2026

The Grand Palais honours African-American artist Mickalene Thomas with All About Love: a vibrant retrospective exploring the visibility and representation of Black women while celebrating love as a force of liberation, self-affirmation, and joy. All About Love is a monographic exhibition by the American artist Mickalene Thomas (1971, New York), recognized worldwide for her bold and multidimensional practice. Through painting, collage, photography, video and installation, Thomas reimagines classical portraiture from a uniquely queer and Black feminist perspective, exploring the visibility and representation of Black women in art, history, and popular culture. All About Love invites audiences to enter a universe of love, leisure, and liberation, spaces where beauty, intimacy, and self-possession reshape the art historical gaze.
