Impasse Ronsin. Murder, Love, and Art in the Heart of Paris

16 December 2020 – 5 April 2021

More than a hundred years, from around 1864 until 1971 the Impasse Ronsin in Paris was home to a warren of studios used by wide variety of artists with very different backgrounds and approaches. This curious cul-de-sac hidden away in Montparnasse served as home and atelier to some 220 artists, from academic sculptor #alfredboucher to Argentine performance artist #martaminujin. Amongst the best known were; #evaaeppli, #williamcopley, #andredeldebbio, #MaxErnst, #jasperjohns, #claudeandfrancoisxavierlalanne, #jamesmetcalf, #isamunoguchi, #larryrivers, #nikidesaintphalle and #jeantinguely. If Constantin Brâncuși was its most famous resident – based there from 1916 until his death – it’s most infamous was Madame Steinheil, mistress and maybe murderer of the French President whose artist-husband also met a brutal end, turning the Impasse Ronsin into one of the most notorious crime scenes of the early 20th century.
