White Cube is pleased to present "The Void", an exhibition dedicated to the relationship between the late Greek artist Takis (1925-2019) and the city of Paris. 

Paris was where several of Takis' most important artistic explorations began, spurred by two epiphanies that would lay the foundation for his lifelong obsession with non-verbal forms of communication and extra-physical realms. The first of these took place in 1955, when the artist first saw the signalling lights at a train station in Calais, an encounter that would develop into his 'Signals' series. Then, in 1958, Takis began to experiment with magnetism in his work as a means of manifesting the 'fourth dimension' or the universe's intangible energies. 

This exhibition, the first in Paris since Takis' death in 2019, narrativises the artist's immense contribution to contemporary art through a series of formative moments. 

A total of 20 of his works are on display, many of which he created in Paris, at the time when he met, among others, Giacometti and Picasso.
