Sponsorship

Natixis, sponsor of the exhibition “From Van Gogh to Picasso: treasures of the Guggenheim” held at the royal palace (Palazzo Reale) in Milan from the 16th of October to the 9th of March 2020.

Following the company’s donation, the Thannhauser collection, including works by the likes of Van Gogh and Picasso, left the Guggenheim museum in New York to come to Europe for the first time. Having been exhibited in Bilbao in Spain, Aix en Provence in France and Milan in Italy, the collection returned to New York where it will remain for the next 50 years at the Guggenheim.

Natixis is a Major Partner of the “Le Cubisme” exhibition on show at the Centre Pompidou from October 17, 2018 until February 25, 2019.

Through an array of 300 works, the exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of one of modern art history’s founding movements.  It highlights the inventiveness of the artists, as well as the depth and wide variety of this artistic standpoint. Visitors will be treated to an unprecedented galaxy of cubist masterpieces.

Natixis counts itself among the sponsors of Jeff Koons’ "Bouquet of Tulips", a work gifted to the city of Paris as a token of the American people’s support for Parisians and Frenchmen and women who were bereaved by the attacks of 2015-2016.

This initiative testifies to the Franco-American dimension of Natixis, which has had a presence in the United States since its inception, notably in New York and Boston.
