The exhibit will showcase selected works by a curated ensemble of the world’s most-renowned artists as part of Art Basel Miami Beach, held at the Convention Center in Miami Beach from December 1st to December 3rd
Louis Vuitton continues its longstanding commitment to the arts by exhibiting a curated selection of creative collaborations and original artworks from leading international artists.
Standout artist collaborations on display in the Louis Vuitton lounge include two wax
figures of Yayoi Kusama, created by the artist herself; a panda figure sculpture
by Takashi Murakami on a vintage Louis Vuitton trunk; paintings by Richard Prince
and Alex Katz; a photo by Jean Larivière, and the now iconic Artycapucines collection.
As a celebration of the Maison’s relationship with Yayoi Kusama – and to mark
the 10-year anniversary of the first collaboration – exclusive new pieces will be showcased
for the first time as a teaser of the upcoming collaboration.
By participating in the 20th anniversary edition of Art Basel Miami Beach, the Maison
confirms its close and committed relationship to the arts, one that started nearly a
century ago when Gaston-Louis Vuitton – the grandson of the Maison’s founder – began
commissioning artists to collaborate with the Maison on advertisements and perfume
bottles.
Since 1988, Louis Vuitton has continued this legacy by collaborating with some of the
biggest names in modern art and design, including, among others, Sol LeWitt, James
Rosenquist, César, and Olafur Eliasson, and curating exhibitions by artists such as
Sophie Calle, Dan Flavin, Steve MC Queen, Katharina Grosse or Ernesto Neto in its
instore galleries. In 2014, the Maison opened the landmark Frank Gehry-designed
Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, reaffirming its continuing mission to bring the best of
modern and contemporary art to new audiences.
Louis Vuitton will present during Art Basel Miami Beach at West Lobby,
which runs from 1st to 3rd December 2022 at the Miami Beach Convention Center,
1901 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139.
