The last avant-garde movement in twentieth-century French art, Supports/Surfaces marked an important turning point, advocating the rejection of traditional painting supports in favour of a more conceptual exploration of the materiality of the canvas. Some artists even went beyond the limits of painting in their artistic approach towards sculpture and installation.

Although the Supports/Surfaces movement reached its peak in the 1970s, its ideals of freedom, experimentation and questioning established conventions continue to influence many artists.
Initial acquisitions since 1994 and subsequent systematic efforts have enabled the Musée national d'archéologie, d'histoire et d'art du Luxembourg (MNAHA) to build up a remarkable Supports/Surfaces collection.
It currently houses thirty-eight works from the 1966-1985 period, including a number of monumental pieces. All the major artists of the movement are represented, along with historic works of museum quality. The MNAHA's collection is thus one of the most interesting Supports/Surfaces ensembles in Europe and beyond, illustrating important aspects of this innovative French artistic movement.
