Extract

The collection of artists’ books at the Musée National d’Art Moderne in the Centre Georges Pompidou grew spontaneously at first, once the museum had been created, but since the end of the 1980s its growth has been much more deliberate. A formal acquisition policy has been introduced that ensures that gaps resulting from the early collecting history are filled; this also encourages the exploration of new directions in consultation with the Museum curators. Many activities are now undertaken to make the most of the holdings, such as exhibitions and seminars encouraging exploitation of the collection and ensuring continued analysis and debate.
