Thirty Years for Contemporary Art – Volume 2 Published by Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Paris. Text by Bruce Albert, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, Michel Cassé, Fei Dawei, Régis Durand, Ticio Escobar, André Magnin, Robert Storr, Cédric Villani. In 2014, for its 30th anniversary, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain published a box set of two lavishly illustrated books recounting its history through the lens of the values it has espoused and embodied: boldness, avid curiosity and commitment to the artists.
The second volume relays the voices of important figures who are close to the Fondation Cartier—artists, advisors, art critics, friends— and who have shaped the history of the institution. Bringing together 2,000 archival images, including unpublished photographs and rare documents (sketches of exhibition set design, personal archives of artists), this book offers a chronological journey throughout the exhibitions, performances and main events that took place since the creation of the Fondation Cartier in 1984.
