A visionary collector, Gustave Fayet (1865-1925) began assembling one of the most significant private collections of his time as early as the late 19th century. As one of the earliest advocates of Van Gogh and Gauguin, and a close associate of Odilon Redon, he helped bring the great artists of modernism to the forefront. Featuring works by Cézanne, Degas, Bonnard, Vuillard, Matisse, and Signac, his collection reflects a remarkably free artistic vision. Published to coincide with the exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, this catalog traces the history of this exceptional collection, which has since been dispersed. Richly illustrated, it reveals Gustave Fayet's pivotal role in the history of collecting and modern art.

A painter, ceramicist, interior designer, and creator of rugs, textiles, and wallpaper, Gustave Fayet developed a unique body of work that bridges the fine arts and the decorative arts. Inspired by nature, color, and the ideal of "total art," his work reveals a personality marked by great freedom. Published to coincide with the exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, this catalog showcases an exceptional collection of paintings, watercolors, ceramics, textile designs, and documents, including many works never before seen. It restores a major artist to his rightful place, whose inventiveness offers a fresh perspective on the decorative arts of the early 20th century.

The Fondation Louis Vuitton invites you to discover a poetic exhibition dedicated to Alexander Calder. Calder: Dreaming in Equilibrium reveals an ethereal world of suspended mobiles and dynamic forms in motion. This refined immersion unfolds at the intersection of lightness, space, and poetry, where art challenges the laws of gravity and awakens the imagination.
