Primitive art, rebaptised primary art to free it from its derogatory connotations, will join the art collections in the Denon wing by the end of January, 2000. At long last recognizing the importance of primary art and its influence on artists such as Breton, Picasso, Arman and Gauguin, to name a few, the Louvre will be dedicating 1400 sq. meters of space to this art coming from African, Indonesian, Irish, Indian and Asian sources, in an architecture designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte.
