Vollard Group

Established in 2012, alongside the acquisition and exhibition of a complete set of Picasso's Vollard Suite, the group takes its name from Ambroise Vollard (1866–1939). The greatest avant-garde Paris art dealer and print publisher of his day, he gave Picasso his first Paris exhibition in 1901.

The support of the Vollard Group helps to ensure that the collection remains a living and relevant resource able to make strategic and bold acquisitions.
