From 8th June to 7th October 2018, the Yuz Museum of Shanghai is showing the world’s first retrospective exhibition of the work of Charlie Chaplin (1889 London – 1977 Vevey), a co-production of the Musée de l’Elysée of Lausanne and the Yuz Museum, with more than three hundred photographs and almost two hours of film extracts from Charlie Chaplin’s career. This establishes Shanghai’s pre-eminent place on the global cultural and artistic stage. It presents a special opportunity to re-engage with this extraordinary actor and the humanist character of this committed and exiled artist who waited twenty years to return to Hollywood to receive an Honorary Oscar in 1972. He was given a standing ovation that lasted twelve minutes, the longest in the history of the Oscars.
