Publications
Since its creation, the Fondation Cartier places great importance on books and writing. The works it publishes are extensions of the experience of its exhibitions, leaving a trace of artistic projects that are by nature ephemeral. Since 1984, the Fondation Cartier has published around 200 works.
Exposition Générale
For the opening of its new spaces in October 2025 in the heart of Paris, the Fondation Cartier presents Exposition Générale, an extensive journey into the works of its Collection. The exhibition catalog offers a broad view of contemporary creation.
