The bookshop is delighted to welcome collector Antoine de Galbert and Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation’s director Clément Chéroux for a presentation of the book Une Histoire d’images, published by Empire books, and a discussion on the practice of building a photographic collection.
Une histoire d’images is the first assessment of the photographic collection assembled over the last four years through regular donations to the Musée de Grenoble by Antoine de Galbert. The collection offers an impressive panorama of our times and the decisive role played by photography in shaping our perceptions and contemporary mythologies.
Since 2020, Antoine de Galbert has been committed to enriching the museum’s photography collections through regular donations, either directly or through his foundation. The images donated are chosen in close collaboration with the museum and its director, while allowing the collector’s vision and sensitivity to express themselves fully.
The eponymous exhibition can be seen at the Musée de Grenoble until March 3, 2024.
