The MAMC+ reveals an ensemble of remarkable pieces which have been added to the collection recently thanks to the generosity of our donors: artists and rights-holders, gallery-owners, private collectors, and the Amis du musée association.

Spread over almost 1000 m², this exhibition of works from the collections includes around twenty artists and over one hundred of their pieces from the 1960s to the present day. This selection, which reflects a variety of disciplines (painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture), gives pride of place to works including large-scale installations by Mac Adams, Alain Kirili, and duo Aurélie Pétrel and Vincent Roumagnac. Donations of large collections of works also enable the museum to present monographic exhibitions focusing on the careers of several little-known figures who each, in their own way, strove to reinvent the language of painting: Bernard Joubert (1946), Charles-Henri Monvert (1948-2018), Lena Vandrey (1941-2018) and Max Wechsler (1925-2020).

These rich additions to the collection sometimes serve to increase the number of works by certain artists, and sometimes to provide additional material on key concepts such as geometric abstraction or contemporary photographic or sculptural practices.

These various discoveries are a way of paying tribute to the benefactors whose recent acts of generosity are a continuation of the donations that have helped shape the image of the famous MAMC+ collections.
