Collectionneurs et collectionneuses des avant-gardes

Lecture presented by Léa Lefebvre

Collectors accompany the creative movements of their era. Close to artists and pioneers of the modern art market, they play an essential role in affirming and disseminating the avant-garde movements that shook the 19th and early 20th centuries. Personal manifestos and sensitive frescoes of their time, their collections have left their mark on art history. From Ghez to Guggenheim, from Caillebotte to the Steins, we look back at the visionary figures who took part in the beginnings of modernity, from their salons to their foundations.
