Following his exhibition at Galerie Anatome (see post here), Wim Crouwel has been invited by French Modern Art Museum, Centre Georges Pompidou, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the museum. During all this year, many important creator in all fields were and will be invited to perform and talk about their work for the museum. Each artist will represent one specific year since the opening of the museum in 1967. 1990 was the year for Wim Crouwel. He won the prestigious price of the Stankowski Foundation. At that time he was designer and director of the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam.

During more than 1h30 Wim Crouwel talked about his entire work since he began his art school to his last work for Mono exhibition. Poster, brochure, visual design for museum… He presents all his work with a great touch of humor.

You will find here some pictures of the conference. I’m very sorry but being so captivited by his speach I forgot to make picture…

For those who are interested, he will talk at D&AD Global Awards Ceremony in London next Thursday 24 May 2007.
