Exposition Générale retraces forty years of international contemporary art through emblematic works and fragments of exhibitions that have shaped the programming of the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain since its founding in 1984. Illustrating the institution’s history and openness to the world, it highlights major pieces in its collection, which has evolved over the years as a reflection of this programming, and offers visitors the opportunity to rediscover nearly 600 works by over 100 artists.
