Opening: Donas, Archipenko & La Section d'Or
03.10.2025
Exhibition design, Antwerp/ BE
From 4 October 2025 to 11 January 2026, the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp KMSKA will present a unique exhibition on Marthe Donas, Alexander Archipenko and the international avant-garde. Curated by Peter J.H. Pauwels and Adriaan Gonnissen, the exhibition shows for the first time her central role in the international avant-garde, alongside the work of her partner at the time, Ukrainian sculptor Alexander Archipenko. Side by side, they take their innovations to a higher level. Surrounded by masterpieces by artist friends such as Mondrian, Modigliani, Goncharova and Vassilieff, the oeuvre and story of this forgotten leading artist offer a glimpse into a modernism that is colourful, groundbreaking and surprisingly gender-diverse.
The exhibition architecture of Donas, Archipenko & La Section d'Or. Enchanting Modernism is designed by Aslı Çiçek and draws inspiration from the elegance that the works of Marthe Donas radiate.
