The Dubuffet Foundation is undoubtedly one of the rare institutions in France whose founder is the artist himself. Its purpose is to acquire and preserve the original works that make up its collections, as well as plans, projects and models, notes and manuscripts, all archives and documents, goods and various objects of interest for the knowledge of Jean Dubuffet's thoughts as well as his artistic, literary and musical work.

Born in 1981 in Zug, Switzerland, Lukas Hoffmann lives and works in Berlin. His pictures emerge as isolated, unrelated images. They do not follow ideas or concepts; rather, each image bears witness to a quest - the quest for a correspondence between the order of the image and the visible world, the quest for a relationship for which there are no rules, but which must be found for each image in a new way. Hybrid, mixed forms are omnipresent in Hoffmann's photographs: natural and architectural spaces are intertwined. The artist's great interest in the particularities of both urban and rural landscapes, an appetite for the shape of the earth, ever more invasive vegetation, the organisation of architectural structures or their slow decay, can be detected.

With Florian Ebner, Head of the photography cabinet, and Julie Jones, curator of the photography cabinet

Mission Recherche

In 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, Giuseppe Penone donated 350 of his drawings to the Centre Pompidou. Two years later, the museum dedicates an exhibition to the artist, bringing to light works, that, for the most part, have never been shown to the public.
