Michel Laclotte with Joachim Pissarro

Joachim Pissarro | The Brooklyn Rail | 11th December 2019

Some say the Louvre is the world’s most important museum. Laclotte, a former director, reflects on his experience and the dilemmas of museum management. Should curators or managers be in control? Why the hostility toward the Louvre’s famous glass pyramid? Should contemporary art be combined with an historical collection? Any regrets? Yes – missed acquisitions. “I am almost more interested in the paintings I didn’t get!”
