Inaugural Hang
Curated to complement Frank Gehry’s architecture, the first hang displays a selection of emblematic works from the four themes of the collection (Contemplative, Pop, Expressionist, Music/Sound) by Christian Boltanski, Pierre Huyghe, Bertrand Lavier, Gerhard Richter and Thomas Schütte. As part of his commission for the auditorium, one room is dedicated to the works of Ellsworth Kelly.
The Fondation does not want to ignore the context of the collection’s history or the diversity of its forms, languages and expressions. It aims to reflect both the breadth of the constantly expanding realm of creativity as well as the turbulent and rapidly changing reality of our world, which challenges our thinking.
