The Pompidou Centre plays homage to Henri Cartier-Bresson, who died on August 3, 2004, by naming one of its gallery collections after him (his last interview was published in Domus no. 874).

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.
