For the third phase of its inaugural program, Paris’ Louis Vuitton Foundation is mounting an exhibition of major works that have been “key to the development of modernity, and have changed the course of art history in the twentieth century.” Keys to a Passion will be held from April 1 to July 6, 2015.
The Louis Vuitton Foundation, which opened in October 2014, was established by the French multinational luxury goods conglomerate, LVMH Group. It is housed in a building commissioned by LVMH’s chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Bernard Arnault, and designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Frank Gehry. Located in the Bois de Boulogne district, the diaphanous glass building spans 126,000 square feet and features eleven exhibition galleries presenting modern and contemporary works from the LVMH Group’s collection as well as masterpieces from Arnault’s personal holdings. The Foundation also hosts temporary exhibitions, artist commissions, multi-disciplinary performances, and events.
