The Antoine de Galbert Foundation donated about 400 of his pieces of contemporary art, folk art and primitive arts to Beaubourg. A special collection because it reveals, in his intrepid choices, his eclecticism and his formidable erudition.
With his obsession with art, in its most extreme, even radical forms, his gentleman look too serious for contemporary times, his lively humor and his mind nourished by a thousand readings, Jean Chatelus was a figure – furtive and omnipresent – of art in Paris.
