Until 1982, when he represented France at the Venice Biennale, Simon Hantaï regularly held exhibits. He then voluntarily withdrew from the public eye, but continued to work, and only exhibited on rare occasions.
“In the early 1980s, I intentionally removed myself from the game, without saying a word…”
