The actors of Cartier’s flora and fauna take to the stage for the new High Jewelry collection, which is unveiled within this new book. The creations reveal the depth of their character as the pages turn: sometimes sculptural, sometimes mysterious, at times nestled in their natural landscapes or even hidden in unexpected universes. In addition to illustrating the designs, the book focuses on the origins of animal representation in art, between symbolic and aesthetic, in a chapter written by curator Hélène Bouillon.

Published in celebration of its 40th anniversary, this book traces the history behind the Fondation pour l’Art Contemporain’s creation since 1984. Richly illustrated with more than 800 images, this book attests to the avant-garde spirit of this art venue, celebrated the world over for its support of contemporary art dating back to 1984. An invitation to rediscover 40 years of dedication to contemporary creation.

To mark the first major European exhibition that looks back at Olga de Amaral, a key figure on the Colombian art scene and Fiber Art (or textile art) scene, the Fondation Cartier is publishing a reference book on the artist. Bringing together over a hundred works, as well as a number of photographs from the archives and analytical texts, the book charts the evolution of Olga de Amaral’s practice over the years and her key role in the evolution of this art form.
