Amis, 120 Years With the Musée national d'art moderne - Nicolas Liucci-Goutnikov - Centre Pompidou Eds Du - relié - Catalogue d'exposition

The Society of Friends of the Center Pompidou, heir to the Society of Friends of the Musée du Luxembourg created in 1903, has participated for 120 years with passion and generosity in promoting the collections now kept at the National Museum of Modern Art. First installed at the Palais de Tokyo before moving to the Center Pompidou in 1977, the Museum has always benefited from the support of the Friends to develop a collection of modern and contemporary art that has become one of the richest in the world. It is to the history of this community of art lovers - collectors, gallery owners, artists - and to its great French and international philanthropic figures that this work pays a fitting tribute, at a time when national collections are open to new horizons.
