Through the generous donations from the French photographer and a strategy of ongoing purchases, the Paris museum has built up a collection of important photographs and drawings. On show are a number of his most famous portraits, including those of Matisse and Giacometti. Until January 3, the Pompidou Centre will also be holding a retrospective dedicated to the photography of Bernd & Hilla Becher and their “poetic cataloguing” of building products of industrial origin.
