construction, in the 1950s, of the Organization’s Headquarters in Paris, designed by Marcel Breuer, Luigi Nervi and Bernard Zehrfuss. On this occasion, the Organization selected among the contemporary artists of the time, those that would be commissioned to create a work of art for the decoration of the building. This selection includes works by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Jean Arp, Karel Appel, Afro Basaldella, Alexander Calder, Roberto Matta, Henry Moore and Rufino Tamayo, among others </p> <p class="lead"> Since then, the collection has continued to grow through purchases made until the 1980s, with works by artists such as Alberto Giacometti, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Jesus Rafael Soto or Victor Vasarely, and thanks to donations made by Member States, from the construction of Headquarters and up until today. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row
