Since it was opened in 2014, the Fondation Louis Vuitton has consolidated its position as a leading institution on the international arts scene and has been a resounding success with a French and international audience. It has already welcomed more than 6 million visitors from all over the world.

The first major success of 2020 was that of the Charlotte Perriand: Inventing a New World exhibition, which closed to the public on February 24 after welcoming a total of 476,000 visitors. On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the artist s passing, the exhibition paid tribute to Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) and familiarized its audience with the key contributions she made to the history of architecture and design and to 20th century modernity. Next, the Cindy Sherman at the Fondation exhibition, originally scheduled for the spring, was postponed before finally opening its doors to the public on September 23. This excep- tional retrospective, featuring more than 170 works by the artist, spanned Cindy Sherman s entire career as one of the greatest photographers of our time, with a special focus on works from the past decade, some of which were exhibited for the first time ever. As soon as the Fondation reopened, visitors flocked to admire this universally acclaimed artist s insightful, sensitive exploration of the notions of identity and image until the public health crisis worsened and the Fondation closed for a second time. The Icons of Modern Art: The Morozov Collection exhibition, originally scheduled to open in fall 2020, will be held from May 12 to October 10, 2021. This highly anticipated exhibition will feature masterpieces from the collection of French and Russian modern art assembled by the Muscovite brothers Mikhail Abramovich Morozov (1870-1903) and Ivan Abramovich Morozov (1871-1921). Presented for the first time outside Russia, The Morozov Collection will echo the Shchukin exhibition, which set a record for the Fondation in 2017 with 1.2 million visitors. This exhibition will mark a new era in the partnership between the Fondation Louis Vuitton and major Russian museums. A final highlight was the Fondation Louis Vuitton s continuation of its international Hors-Les-Murs ( Beyond the Walls ) program this year, which included the Anicka Yi and Doug Aitken exhibitions at its Espace Louis Vuitton locations in Munich and Tokyo.
