Two Artists, One Living and One Dead, Meet in a Paris Museum Over a decade ago, Nate Lowman stumbled upon the museum honoring the Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix. Now, he is showing his own work there. Oct. 21, 2025, 12:32 p.m. ET When the contemporary artist Nate Lowman was visiting Paris in his 30s, he stumbled across an almost-hidden museum in the Sixth Arrondissement in what was once the home and studio of Eugène Delacroix. Delacroix, a major French Romantic painter, had lived there during the last six years of his life, until his death in 1863. “The Musée National Eugène Delacroix was preserved by artists and later acquired by the Louvre,” said Lowman, now 46, whose paintings and sculptures focus on contemporary culture, consumption and consumerism, and have been shown in places such as the Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens in Belgium and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. “It was such a unique place that was specific and personal to the person who is commemorated in it,” added Lowman. “It was a total gem.” Now, more than 10 years later, Lowman, who was born in Las Vegas, is paying homage to this master of Romanticism by showing 15 new pieces of his own at the museum, among Delacroix’s work and belongings. The show, “After Delacroix,” is part of the public programming at this year’s Art Basel Paris, and it runs from Wednesday through Nov. 2. Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
