À qui appartient la beauté ?

Benedicte Savoy

Bénédicte Savoy follows nine celebrated museum objects, from the bust of Nefertiti to the Benin royal treasures, to ask who beauty belongs to. In French, the book weighs desire, domination and restitution in how collections were formed. Its focus also speaks to how leadership, ceremony and inherited authority shape cultural and political life.
