Gustave Fayet: Collector - Designer. Icons of Modern Art

Building on its "Icons of Modern Art" exhibitions, devoted to major collectors such as Sergei Shchukin, Mikhail and Ivan Morozov, and Samuel Courtauld, the Fondation Louis Vuitton continues its exploration of the pioneering figures who shaped the history of modern art with an exceptional exhibition: "Gustave Fayet: Collector - Designer", on view from 9 October 2026 to 8 March 2027. Occupying all the spaces of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, this major exhibition is presented in two parts, examining Gustave Fayet both as a collector and as a designer. It reveals how collecting, creating, and artistic commitment were deeply intertwined throughout his life, and presents a key figure of turn-of-the-century modernity who has long been unjustly overlooked. An exhibition unprecedented in scale and scope, it brings together, for the first time in a century, more than 250 works from Gustave Fayet's extraordinary collection, now dispersed around the world. They are presented alongside 375 of his own creations, most of them never before exhibited and specially restored for the occasion. Highlights include 10 paintings by Vincent van Gogh, 78 works by Paul Gauguin, 88 works by Odilon Redon, as well as paintings and pastels by Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Paul Signac, Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard and Henri Matisse.
