About This Item
Maeght, 1974. Hardcover. Very Good/Good . Text in French. Photos throughout. Ce numéro de Derrière le miroir est édité à l'occasion du dixième anniversaire de la Fondation Marguerite et Aimé Maeght. Some of the biggest names in 20th-century European sculpture, including Georges Braque, Joan Miró and Alberto Giacometti, came together to help create La Fondation Maeght, which has become Franceâs most important art foundation and is among the worldâs leading cultural institutions. La Fondation was established by Aimé and Marguerite Maeght, a visionary couple who were publishers and art dealers, and who represented and were friends with some of the most important artists of the era, including Braque, Miró and Giacometti, as well as Alexander Calder, Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall, and many others. La Fondation Maeght was opened on July 26, 1964, by Charles de Gaulleâs legendary Culture Minister André Malraux, a close friend of the Maeghts. It was Franceâs very first private art institution and was modelled on American institutions such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, the Barnes Collection and the Phillips Collection, which the couple visited during their frequent trips to the US in the 1950s.
