The artist also gifted the library with a signed copy of his work <em>Po\u00e8mes de Charles d\u2019Orl\u00e9ans<\/em>. Other generous gifts from artists (including Ben) and art lovers have enabled the collection to bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The library continues to enrich the collection by regularly investing in new artist editions. It also holds a copy of the titles created by Villa Arson\u2019s publishing studio; these artists\u2019 books are divided into three series: \u201cPortfolio\u201d, \u201cConvergence\u201d&nbsp;and&nbsp;\u201cParall\u00e8le\u201d.

The historic collections include numerous pattern books used in architecture and the decorative arts, as well as several very large-format works related to archaeology and art history in
