Collections

Begun over forty years ago, the collections of the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art focus on four distinct curatorial domains: Antiquities, Ethnology, Fine Arts and Decorative Arts.

These domains are constantly evolving. The aim in each case is to develop a coherent corpus, whether it be specific civilizations, historical periods, major schools or aesthetic movements.

Archaeology

Rich of more than 1200 objects, the collection has Egyptian, Greek and Roman bronzes of great quality and a set of amulets composing one of the richest collections in the world.

Fine Arts

The collection gathers nearly 1000 artworks from the 20th century, with the abstraction of the second school of Paris, the CoBrA movement, the Narrative Figuration, the New Realism and Supports/Surfaces as favourite trends.

Decorative Arts

A collection of nearly 400 objects of art and decoration where the emphasis is on 18th century French furniture and sculpture, from the Middle Ages to Baroque art.

Ethnology

Objects from the pre-Columbian world and the distant islands of Oceania: in all, over two hundred objects that form a collection characterised by the variety and complementarity of its themes.
