Following the donation of the Jean Chatelus collection to the Centre Pompidou by the Fondation Antoine de Galbert, the Musée national d'art moderne is excited to present this exceptional body of work, assembled over a lifetime with passion and curiosity. Bringing together nearly four hundred pieces - sculptures, installations, paintings, photographs, drawings, votive and vernacular objects - reflecting diverse aesthetics and voices, the exhibition focuses on the poetics of ruin, organic decomposition, the forbidden and the apocalyptic specter that reflect the collector's obsessions.
