François Pinault was born on August 21, 1936, in Champs-Géraux in Brittany. He established his first wood business in Rennes in 1963. Subsequently, he widened the scope of his activities and in 1988 the Pinault group went public on the French stock market. François Pinault decided to refocus the group’s activities on specialised sales. The group was renamed PPR and in 1999 entered the luxury-goods sector worldwide, after acquiring the Gucci Group (Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Botte- ga Veneta, Boucheron…).

In 1992, François Pinault created Artémis, a private company entirely owned by the Pinault family. Artémis owns the auction house Christie’s, the news magazine Le Point, the football club Stade Rennais, the cruise ship company Ponant and numerous vineyards in Bordeaux, including Château Latour.

In 2003, François Pinault entrusted the group to his son François-Henri Pinault who turned PRR into a world leader in the luxury goods sector. In 2013 the PPR group becomes Kering.

François Pinault is among the leading collectors of contemporary art in the world. Through the Pinault Collection he has developed a cultural project aimed at promoting contemporary art and at making it accessible to the greatest number of people possible.

Since 2006, the activities of the Pinault Collection have developed around different areas: – Museum activities in Venice (Palazzo Grassi, Punta della Dogana and the Teatrino), – A programme of exhibitions in other institutions (Moscow, Seoul, Monaco, Dinard, Lille, Dunkirk, Essen, Stockholm, Rennes, etc.), – An intense cooperation with major museums in France and abroad to support a policy of loans and joint acquisitions (Centre Pompidou, LACMA, Philadelphia Museum of Art, etc.), – Support of emerging artists with the establishment of an artists’ residence in Lens in collaboration with the regional institutions (FRAC, Louvre-lens, etc.), – Support of modern and contemporary art with the creation of the Pierre Daix Prize in 2015.

The opening of the Bourse de Commerce / Pinault Collection – Paris in 2019 represents a new step in the implementation of the cultural project supported by François Pinault and his family.

2 2 THE PINAULT COLLECTION

François Pinault has channeled his passion for contemporary art into assembling one of the most important collections in the world today: it now includes more than three thousand works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His approach is fed by his commitment to sharing his passion for art with as broad an audience as possible, and to accompanying artists as they explore new territories.

Since 2006, François Pinault has oriented his cultural project along three axes: presenting exhibitions in Venice, presenting exhibitions in other institutions and supporting and encouraging up-and-coming artists and art historians.

The Pinault Collection’s museums are housed in two exceptional buildings in Venice: Palazzo Grassi, inaugurated in 2006, and Punta della Dogana, opened in 2009. These sites were renovated and rehabilitated for their new purpose by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando, a Pritzker Prize laureate. Works in the Pinault Collection are displayed in exhibitions that often involve the artists directly through specific commissions to create new in situ works. The Teatrino, also designed by Tadao Ando and opened in 2013, welcomes a rich cultural and educational programme, organised in collaboration with institutions and universities in Venice and abroad.

In 2019, the new museum of the Pinault Collection will open in Paris, inside the Bourse de Commerce, which will be renovated by Tadao Ando Architect & Associates together with the agency NeM / Niney & Marca Architectes, the agency Pierre-Antoine Gatier and SETEC Bâtiment.

Works in the Pinault Collection are also regularly presented in exhibitions across the world, including in Paris, Moscow, Lille, Essen and Stockholm. Solicited by public and private institutions, the Pinault Collection loans many of its works to international exhibitions.

In partnership with the Hauts-de-France region and the city of Lille, François Pinault also founded a residency programme in the former mining town. Housed in a former rectory, adapted to its new purpose by the architects of the firm NeM/Niney & Marca Architectes, it was inaugurated in December 2015. The selection of artists-in-residency is made jointly by the Pinault Collection, the DRAC and FRAC Grand Large, Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains and the Louvre-Lens. After welcoming the American duo Melissa Dubbin and Aaron S. Davidson (2016), the Belgian artist Edith Dekyndt (2017), the Brazilian artist Lucas Arruda is currently in residency in Lens. He will be succeeded by the French-Moroccan artist Hicham Berrada in summer 2018.

François Pinault founded the Pierre Daix Prize, in homage to his friend who passed away in 2014, the art historian Pierre Daix. It is awarded each year to an exceptional study of modern or contemporary art. In 2017, the prize was given to Elisabeth Lebovici for her essay Ce que le sida m’a fait, published by JRP|Ringier editions.

Renovated by architect Tadao Ando, the Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi hosts a wide range of events, which aim at complementing the exhibitions organised by Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana, as well as exploring a great variety of artistic forms.

In five years, the Teatrino has become one of the most dynamic actors on the Venetian cultural scene: over 100 conferences, screenings, concerts and performances, usually free for the public, are organised each year.

Among the events scheduled in the 2017-2018 season: the cycle of events organised on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable’ by Damien Hirst, with the screening of films dedicated to the relationship between truth and falsity, the talks with philosopher Peter Sloterdijk, the Director of Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Paolo Giulierini, cinema historian Roy Menarini, author Valerio Massimo Manfredi and the listening sessions of Helicotrema focused on the underwater worlds and languages.

Moreover, the Teatrino presented talks with artists Roberto Cuoghi and Edith Dekyndt, the screening of Loris Gréaud’s most recent cinematographic work in the presence of the artist, the first edition of Versus Poetry Slam, the talk with author Frederik Sjöberg with the Festival I Boreali, the seminar Proiettare/ Esporre dedicated to film as a mean to reflect upon the work of art organised in collaboration with Labex CAP, Università Iuav, Ehess, Centre Pompidou, Louvre and with the participation of Fondazione di Studi di Storia dell’Arte Roberto Longhi.

The 2017/2018 season has also marked the return of the Carte Blanche offered this year to musician and composer Teho Teardo, the concerts of Nørdic Frames with ATOM™ and Thomas Brinkmann, of the Festival Lo schermo dell’arte Film Festival and of the cycle of thematic readings by Casa delle Parole. The Centre Pompidou was the guest of the 2017 edition of Grand Tour, with four days of talks dedicated to cultural mediation and workshops for all.
