Cartier 1899-1949. The journey of a style

Posted by Fernanda Pereira

15.02 - 29.04.2007, Gulbenkian Museum, Lisboa “Cartier 1899-1949. The journey of a style” brings together an outstanding set of 230 jewels, watches and personal objects from the Cartier Collection, as well as some of Calouste Gulbenkian’s acquisitions that now belong to the Foundation. The exhibition also includes original drawings – some of which are associated to the collector – moulds and a variety of documents. Over recent years, the Cartier Collection has been in exhibition at the most prestigious museums in the world, including the Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg), the British Museum (London), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Museum of Fine Arts (Houston), and the Shanghai Museum. Organised by the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, in association with the Cartier Collection and the Skira responsible for publishing the catalogue, this project is part of the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. _______________________ Gulbenkian Museum Av. de Berna 45A 1067-001 Lisboa Codex Tel: 21 7823000 Fax: 21 7823032 www.museu.gulbenkian.pt
