The French Government invited Dominique de Menil to exhibit her Menil Collection at the Grand Palais Museum in Paris in 1984. I was her guest at that exhibition and had a chance to photograph many aspects of that event. Photos include then President Mitterrand leaving the opening surrounded by the Republican Guard and selected photo compositions from the three floors in the Grand Palais where many works from the Menil Collection were on exhibition.
I don’t think that there is anywhere in the world where one can get an idea of this amazing exhibition than in my photograph series. The photos are in a Power Point presentation saved in a pdf format. Adjust magnification to desired size.
