This exhibition is a sensation. The collections of a famous French collector are made available to the public.
The exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation showcases works by renowned artists like Picasso and Van Gogh, primarily acquired by collector Gustave Fayet. Fayet, a wealthy wine producer, supported lesser-known artists and made significant investments in modern art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He amassed a remarkable collection, including nearly 200 works by Gauguin, and played a crucial role in promoting modern art. Fayet's collection, which included pieces by other famous artists, was dynamic, with artworks frequently bought and sold. The current exhibition features over 250 pieces from his collection, highlighting his impact on the art world.
