Thanks to an unprecedented partnership between two major collections of the Côte d'Azur, the works of Niki de Saint Phalle, Arman, Yves Klein, Raymond Hains, Martial Raysse, and César meet the plastic innovations of Fernand Léger, one of the 20th-century pioneers.

Alongside these leading representatives of New Realism, works by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and later Keith Haring illustrate the early artistic exchanges between European creation and the American scene.​ The exhibition, which comprises nearly 100 works, takes a playful and creative approach to different themes: the diversion of objects, the representation of bodies and leisure activities, or the place of art in public spaces.​
