A celebration of forty years of the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain.

In 1984, acting on a suggestion by the artist César, Alain Dominique Perrin, who was then President of Cartier International, decided to create the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, the first corporate foundation dedicated to contemporary art in France. In October 2024, it will celebrate its fortieth anniversary.

To mark the occasion, the Fondation Cartier is publishing a book retracing the history of its creation and artistic programme since 1984. Richly illustrated with over 800 images, the book bears witness to the unique character of this world-famous art institution, presents the principles that have guided it since 1984, and allows us to rediscover forty years of patronage dedicated to contemporary creation.
