Rendezvous: Masterpieces from the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Guggenheim Museums
Rendezvous Masterpieces from the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Guggenheim Museums This volume surveys the history of Modern art, from the turn of the century to approximately 1970. A unique and unprecedented partnership between the Guggenheim Museum and the Musée national d'art moderne brings together more than 300 paintings, sculptures and drawings by over 150 artists, including Joseph Beuys, Jean Dubuffet, Max Ernst, Yves K... more »lein, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock. The Musée and the Guggenheim represent two distinct kinds of museums: a public, government-run institution and a private museum. The former is one institution within a multidisciplinary cultural center; the latter has grown from a private collection of non-objective painting into a network of international museums of Modern and Contemporary art. One originally celebrated almost exclusively the Modern art produced in France, the other various abstract painters from the European avant-garde. Thus does Rendezvous allow a dialogue between two museums renowned for their contributions to the history of Modernism. Edited by Lisa Dennison and Bernard Blistène. ~Essays by Mark C.
