"Seventeen of Perrotin's stable of 68 artists donated works... The works will be exhibited on level four of the Centre Pompidou from October." This marks a significant collaboration between artists and a public institution.

"The Pompidou has a paltry annual acquisition budget of €1.8m... the donated works are valued at around €6m, starkly contrasting the museum's financial constraints." This emphasizes the magnitude of the gift.
