AFMO members were invited by Soho House for a special dialogue with art historian and author Cyrille Gouyette, alongside renowned urban artists Jean Faucheur and Zevs, exploring the intersection of classical and street art in honor of the Musée d’Orsay’s spring exhibition Art is in the Street (L’art est dans la rue).

In social, cultural and artistic fields alike, the street was a living environment and exhibition venue all in one, as well as a subject for depiction. The posters of the 1880s to the 1990s carry within them the fantasies and realities of an era. The result of technical advances and the emerging consumer society, they were a sphere that gradually attracted the interest of some of the time’s great artists.
