Marcie-Rivière Collection

In January 2016, the Musée d’Orsay received the Zeïneb and Jean-Pierre Marcie-Rivière Collection of 50 paintings and 89 drawings by Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard

This extraordinarily generous gesture represents a special event in the history of French collections and the Musée d’Orsay was proud to add this donation to its prized Nabi holdings. AFMO granted funds for the protective box framing of the 50 paintings. Box framing is a recently developed technique that shields the paint layer against moisture and temperature variations behind a thin pane of anti-reflective glass.

AFMO also supported the edition of the Marcie-Rivière Collection exhibition catalog.
