Agnès Troublé, known as agnès b., has chosen to sponsor our fundraising campaign. By this public support she shares her personal attachment to Potager du Roi, which she says is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for her work.

À propos d’agnès b.

Agnès Troublé, dite agnès b., est née à Versailles. Son père, avocat, lui fait partager très tôt son goût pour la musique et pour l’art, si bien que son rêve d’adolescente est de devenir conservateur. À 17 ans, elle se marie à un homme passionné par les livres et le cinéma, l’éditeur Christian Bourgois. Elle gardera toujours l’initiale de ce nom qui deviendra sa signature de styliste : agnès b. En 1973, elle dépose sa propre marque et ouvre sa première boutique en 1976 dans une ancienne boucherie du quartier des Halles, au 3 rue du Jour. En 1984, elle inaugure une galerie d’art attenante, la Galerie du Jour. En 1997, la galerie s’installe rue Quincampoix, à la suite de Jean Fournier, et se dote d’une librairie, la Librairie du Jour. Avec l’artiste Christian Boltanski et le commissaire d’exposition Hans-Ulrich Obrist, elle crée un « périodique hybride », Point d’ironie, aujourd’hui distribué gratuitement à 100 000 exemplaires dans le monde. En 2018, la galerie et la librairie deviennent nomades, le temps de rejoindre La Fab, un lieu pour tous, dont l’ouverture est prévue en 2019, Place Jean-Michel Basquiat dans le 13e arrondissement. Dans ce bâtiment neuf, composé de logements sociaux, dessiné par l’architecte Augustin Rosenstiehl, de l’agence SOA architectes, agnès b. organise, sur 1 400m², des expositions thématiques au travers de sa collection de plus de 5 000 œuvres. On y retrouve aussi la galerie du jour agnès b., sa fameuse librairie et un espace dédié aux actions sociales et solidaires du Fonds de dotation agnès b. Par ailleurs, agnès b. soutient personnellement la Fondation Tara Expéditions depuis 12 ans.

 

Le fonds de dotation agnès b.

Le fonds de dotation agnès b. est créé en 2009 pour structurer les actions de mécénat, partenariat et philanthropie menées par la marque agnès b. et par agnès à titre personnel, depuis près de 40 ans. Il pérennise une vie d’engagement, un terme qui décrit un véritable état d’esprit : le partage. Convaincue que l’avenir de nos sociétés passe par la générosité et l’entraide, agnès b. apporte son soutien à de nombreuses structures à but social ou humanitaire ainsi qu’à des projets culturels depuis plusieurs années.
