Status of collection:
National
Artistic domains and general information about the collection:
Plural, transversal and intergenerational, the art collection puts into perspective the approaches of contemporary and modern French and international artists. As much witnesses of their time as visionaries, it is also through a history of technique and alchemy that the artists celebrate their sensitive and sensory relationship with the world, and maintain an open and subjective relationship with what surrounds them.
Dialoguing around landscape, the figure, architecture and nature, these works place matter and form, man and the environment, in tension, as if echoing the challenges of our industrial age.
Commission programme / Site-specific order(s) :
ARTIST PATRONAGE
Every year since 1997, we support a young artist by commissioning a work in which they can freely express their vision of recycling. All the artworks are then displayed in the reception areas of the group’s sites.
