Coming year, a special exhibition will take place in Pierre Berge-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation in Paris by bringing together 40 works by Jean Cocteau. Running from the 20th of January until the 7th of February, exhibition titled “Jean Cocteau – une donation americaine- Robert Rubin” will feature pieces owned by Rubin – the ever famous art collector.
Robert Rubin, a major collector of works related to Jean Cocteau, spent several years in the poet’s apartment at the Palais-Royal in Paris. This American, a former financier, recently made a donation to the Jean-Cocteau House in Milly-la-Forêt, in the Essonne region.
Among the exhibits included in the Cocteau retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in 2003 were portraits of the poet by Cecil Beaton, Pierre Jahan and Berenice Abbot. Visitors can also admire a collage of Cocteau (made in 1926), or even a portrait of Paul Éluard.
