A.Ricci © Galerie Jean Fournier, Paris © ADAGP, Paris 2009 The Musée Fabre pays homage to Pierre Buraglio, one of the most distinctive artists from the group Supports-Surfaces. He claims to be a painter as he positions himself within the history of painting. Yet, he has created his own universe made from the juxtaposition of small sections of canvas, bits of papers; always inexpensive or everyday material which he describes with the expression “the French toast economy”.
© D.R. Celebrated in 2002 in the Centre Pompidou, Pierrette Bloch is now one of the main figures of painting in France. Her work, in the same time discreet through the means and fascinating by its creativeness, is one of the most original of our time. During the last fifty years, Pierrette Bloch enlarged the territory of painting, bringing her steps where no one before her dared to venture. With obstination, she imposed a vocabulary made of ink and matter, where each stain is the germ of a new universe.
This summer the Musée Fabre welcomes the Czech painter Alfons Mucha (1860-1939), one of the most popular Art Nouveau artists. His success in Paris was particularly due to the great Sarah Bernhardt with whom, honour-bound, the exhibition begins; with portraits, costumes and even recordings of her voice.
This exhibition was distinguished with the label of ‘National Interest’ for 2009 by the Ministry of Culture and Communication.
Exceptionally, the exhibition Alfons Mucha will be opened every day until September 20, on monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, saturday and sunday from 10 A.M to 8 P.M and on wednesday from 1 P.M to 9 P.M.
© Montpellier Agglomération Daniel Dezeuze is a historically important artist and amongst the most significant of the contemporary French scene. He has exhibited in many museums and galleries in France as well as throughout Europe and North America. After many years of fruitful contact it was time for the musée Fabre to pay homage to the career of an artist who had not yet had a personal exhibition in the museum.
© Droits réservés The Société Générale bank company is a prominent patron of Contemporary art since 1995, when they began to gather a very rich collection. It is now made of more than 170 artworks and offers a large panorama of the plastic creation from the 1970s until nowadays. This collection is very diversified, privileging no style or school. Three main streams have appeared through time: painting, photography and sculpture. This engagement has been reconducted eahc and every year through acquisitions of works by contemporary artists (Bertrand Lavier, Laurent Pariente, Philippe Ramette, Pascal Pinaud…).
Initially, this collection was destined to decorate the workspaces of the collaborators. Following the interest of mainstream audiences for Contemporary art, the Société Générale decided in 2003 to regularly lend some of its works to museums in France and Europe.
© Musée Fabre / Montpellier Agglomération In 2005 the donation by Marc Jaulmes (Montpellier artist and collector) of fifteen works by the artist now enables the Musée Fabre to carry out their aspiration to pay homage to this painter and designer who made her mark both within the Parisian art world and in the Languedoc-Roussillon region (Anduze, Arles, Montpellier, Narbonne).

Nolde died at the old age of 89 and went through both World Wars, leaving us a profusion of works that still echoes in contemporary art.

© Musée Fabre / Montpellier Agglomération This exhibition shows for the very first time a real historical retrospective of video art from 1965 until nowadays, with a selection of works belonging to the New Media collection of the centre Georges Pompidou. Video as a creative mean of expression has appeared in the 60’s and has considerably developed during the last 40 years. It is marking our time as much as photography marked 19th Century.
