and the Centre Pompidou, vice-president of the Giacometti Foundation

 

Juan Manuel Bonet

de Arte Reina Sofía and the Cervantes World Institute

The Fondation Arp provides preparatory research

for the Committee’s sessions. This work is based on

the Foundation’s archives, in particular

the collections of François Arp and Marguerite Arp,

on the documents of founders and practitioners

Jean Arp kept, and other confidential information collected over time by the Fondation by working with the galleries,

sales houses and collectors.

 

The Committee shall verify the elements and, in the light

of its expertise, and after consultation of its members,

gives an opinion on the works presented.

This opinion will be sent to the owners of the works,

and must be indicated by them in case of transfer

of ownership.
