In the bookstore, all the books were laid on the same table, the famous table that we owe to Les Jambons fran\u00e7ais, the former residents of the venue and that will be installed in La Fab.\u2019s bookstore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1997, Jean Fournier called agn\u00e8s to ask her: “Shouldn\u2019t you move to my former gallery?

This \u201chybrid periodical” offers an artist the opportunity to make this medium his own and bring it up to a singular work of art. The first edition of le point d\u2019ironie was published for le Festival de Cannes. This manifesto for independent cinema was designed by Jonas Mekas, who sadly passed away in 2019. By means of its gratuitousness and produced by agn\u00e8s, le point d’ironie series now comprises more than sixty issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n agn\u00e8s b. endowment fund <\/mark><\/strong>: In 2009, agn\u00e8s decides to create fonds de dotation agn\u00e8s b., one of the first funds created in France after the Economic Modernization Act was brought into law on August 4, 2008, with the aim of structuring the endeavors in philanthropy, patronage and sponsorship that she had personally supported over the last forty years or so.

A new and young Paris with a dazzling future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Galerie du Jour nomade<\/strong> <\/mark>: In 2018, la galerie du jour and la librairie du jour became itinerant, taking their program on the road prior to installation at La Fab., their brand new 1,400 sq. meter home designed by SOA Architectes, which opened in early 2020.
