Thirty Years for Contemporary Art – Volume 1

Language:

37 €

In 2014, for its thirtieth anniversary, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain published a box set of two lavishly illustrated books recounting its history through its most significant values: boldness, avid curiosity, and commitment to the artists.
The first volume reflects the unique character of this place of creation and encounters, which was the first to support artists and offer a program open to all fields of contemporary thinking. Featuring interviews with the major figures of the Fondation Cartier’s history, this book traces back thirty years of exhibitions and outstanding events. It also highlights the many facets of the glass and steel building on Boulevard Raspail, ever changing with time, with the seasons and in relation to the exhibitions it houses. This incredibly flexible space is an eternal source of inspiration for the artists whom it welcomes.

Jean Nouvel

Following studies at the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Bordeaux, Jean Nouvel (1945, Fumel, France) entered the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris, graduating in 1971. His first job was as assistant to the architect Claude Parent. He then worked with the urbanist and essayist Paul Virilio before opening his own practice in 1970. Jean Nouvel’s approach to architecture—guided by context, history, and culture of the site—has brought him international renown. After his first major project in Paris, the Institut du Monde Arabe (1987), he has designed many architectural projects around the world : the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain Boulevard Raspail (Paris, 1994), the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum (Abu Dhabi, 2017), or the Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai (Shanghai, 2021). In late 2025, another project was inaugurated in Paris, the new spaces of the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain at 2 Place du Palais-Royal.
