The Fondation Louis Vuitton presents for the first time a significant selection of works from its Collection at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow: sixty pieces, by over twenty french and international artists, produced between 1947 and 2018. 

This "Hors les murs" presentation represents the Fondation's commitment to modern and contemporary art. The curaturial choices for the exhibition have taken into account the specificities of the Pushkin State Museum and features a variety of monographic series and powerful works, from different media.

Two spaces are dedicated to the Fondation's achitecture by Frank Gehry. Models, drawings, videos and panoramic photos are displayed, allowing the Russian public to picture the Fondation as an achitectural entity, as well as in its Parisian environment, at the heart of the Bois de Boulogne.

Collection of Fondation Louis Vuitton: Selected Works is presented in conjunction with  another exhibition devoted to the Shchukin Collection. These two prominent collections will help visitors trace the similarities and differences in the collectors’ approaches and the evolution of contemporary art collecting from the early 20th to the early 21st centuries.

Stopping over in Seoul with design duo Icinori. The Louis Vuitton Travel Book series invites renowned artists and promising young talents to tell stories of places they have visited, depicting each place’s varied architecture and special light, and recording the passing days and the lives of its people. For the new edition on Seoul, Mayumi Otero and Raphaël Urwiller bring their breath-taking attention to detail to the bustling South Korean capital.

The Japanese-sounding name  "doesn’t mean anything in particular", in the words of the couple behind it. Icinori is a studio of design, visual art, screen printing, and publishing. The French-Spanish-Japanese Mayumi Otero and the French Raphaël Urwiller met in school at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs of Strasbourg where they founded Icinori in 2007 while still students. Since then, as work and life partners, they have been traveling, exploring, observing, illustrating, and drawing together, displaying the sort of meticulousness that typifies only the most passionate of artists.

Next stop Los Angeles, through the eyes of Javier Mariscal. The Louis Vuitton Travel Book series invites renowned artists and promising young talents to tell stories of places they have visited, depicting each place’s varied architecture and special light, and recording the passing days and the lives of its people. For the new edition on Los Angeles, the Spanish artist Javier Mariscal brings his edgy and unbridled style to the sprawling Californian city.

A graphic designer, illustrator, filmmaker, painter, sculptor and ceramist, Javier Mariscal loves to challenge everything he encounters: his motto is "hay que romper con todo" (you have to break with everything). As a dyslexic child, he was obsessed with drawing from a very early age and fascinated by letters and typography, a passion that would have a substantial influence on his work.
