Pierre Carron at the Académie: elected in 1990, installed in 1991

Pierre Carron was elected to the Académie des beaux-arts on 21 February 1990, succeeding Félix Labisse in his seat. The public reception and installation under the Dome took place on 17 April 1991. The Académie biography records that he later served as its president in 2002 and 2019. The 2019 election to the presidency is covered in a separate article.

The official list of academicians gives the election date. Pierre Carron’s biography links to the two speeches delivered at the 17 April 1991 ceremony.
