Collections of the Institut national d'histoire de l'art, Paris
The Fondation Pierre Gianadda hosts an exceptional exhibition devoted to the art of the print, bringing together 178 masterpieces from the collections of the Bibliothèque de l’Institut national d’histoire de l’art (INHA) in Paris.
From Manet to Ellsworth Kelly, via Goya, Munch, Käthe Kollwitz and Vera Molnár, this presentation highlights the richness and diversity of modern and contemporary printmaking. It celebrates the creativity of artists who, throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, explored the multiple possibilities of print and line.
The exhibition also offers an unprecedented look at the history of this singular collection, initiated in the early 20th century by Jacques Doucet, a visionary patron with a passion for art, while testifying to the dynamism of its recent additions.
