An extensive and gorgeous survey of the collection of the esteemed Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain
This catalog documenting the first exhibition in the new spaces of the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain showcases the identity of the Fondation Cartier and its programming through an extensive journey into works from its collection. The exhibition was designed by Formafantasma, a research-based studio investigating the ecological, historical, political and social forces shaping the discipline of design, and the catalog presents around 500 works from 100 artists from around the world, allowing readers to discover an extraordinary collection that explores the multiple forms of contemporary creation. Richly illustrated and documented, the catalog constitutes a reference work on the art pieces presented in the exhibition, while highlighting the profound and continuous connections that have existed between the Fondation Cartier and the artists for more than 40 years.
