The success of the Edward Hopper exhibition
at the Grand Palais made up for years
of neglect. The American painter, whose
stays in Paris were so important to the
developement of his work, had long
remained little known to the general
public. This major retrospective attracted
784,269 visitors keen to admire the work
of this brilliant colourist: an average of
7,888 admissions per day, making it the
second most attended exhibition after
the one dedicated to Monet in 2011.
It must be said that the organisers rose to
the challenge of bringing together the
most comprehensive collection ever
devoted to the artist. It included 55 of the
100 pictures painted by Hopper.
