Paris Primitive: Jacques Chirac's Museum on the Quai Branly
ISBN: 9780226680705 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In 1990 Jacques Chirac, the future president of France and a passionate fan of non-European art, met Jacques Kerchache, a maverick art collector with the lifelong ambition of displaying African sculpture in the holy temple of French culture, the Louvre. Together they began laying plans, and ten years later African fetishes were on view under the same roof as the Mona Lisa. Then, in 2006, amidst a maelstrom of controversy and hype, Chirac presided over the opening of a new museum dedicated to primitive art in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower: the Musee du Quai Branly.
