Works by Giulia Andreani, Glenn Brown, Jeff Koons, Victor Man and Paul McCarthy are included in Copyists, an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre, Paris. Dedicated to the creativity of copyists, this unique group exhibition explores the history of copying as a central facet of classical tradition, used as a tool for learning about the canon of art history, as much as its techniques and stories. By absorbing the expertise and mastery of prior generations of artists, copying offers a pathway to knowledge, creation and innovation.

For this exhibition, a number of contemporary artists were invited to make copies of works at the Musée du Louvre, following in the footsteps of their predecessors. Viewers are invited to perform an act of decoding, investigation and understanding, juggling old forms and new. Featuring works by painters, draughtsmen, sculptors, video artists, designers and writers, Copyists mediates the tension between originality and duplication.
