Since 1989, the Louvre Museum and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux have commissioned contemporary artists to produce engraved boards for the Chalcography, which guarantees the exclusivity of the draw, without limiting the number of events.
Very different trends in contemporary art are represented. Geneviève Asse and Georg Baselitz meet Pierre Courtin, Jean-Pierre Pincemin, Pat Steir, Jean-Michel Alberola, Robert Morris, Louise Bourgeois, Markus Raetz, Pierre Alechinsky and Agathe May.
Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris in 1911. After having trained as a painter in the Parisian academies and then teaching Fernand Léger, she moved to New York in 1938, where she frequented the Surrealists.
Its notoriety became growing in the 1970s, following regular exhibitions since the war. The real consecration came in 1982 with a first retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
