On October 9, Tuymans joined Meyer-Hermann and art historian, critic, and curator Philippe Pirotte to talk about his recent work and the catalogue raisonné project. Focusing on Tuymans’s most recent works, made between 2007 and 2018, the speakers covered a range of topics—from painting to politics; from memory to modernity. They also discussed the massive project of making a catalogue raisonné, the importance of these printed records, and their lasting legacy.

On October 10, Tuymans was in conversation with Marc Donnadieu and Jarrett Earnest, art critics and authors of catalogue essays for La Pelle. They explored Tuymans’s influential work through the lens of La Pelle, which presents more than eighty paintings dating from the mid-1980s to the present, and investigated the use of preexisting imagery in the artist’s creative process.
