Everybody loves the impressionism! Whether it’s the flower fields, riversides, train stations, or the scenes of lovely outdoor gatherings, balls and ballet performances, or the soul-touching self-portraits by our favorite artists… really, what’s not to love!
However, this love didn’t come natural for anyone, it took time and tolerance and the help of visionary and generous collectors and art promoters. British entrepreneur and art patron Samuel Courtauld was the one that made British public fell in love with the impressionism and post-impressionism. And now at Foundation Louis Vuitton, after the sensational showcase of MoMA’s finest in Paris, they bring together the best of the Courtauld collection during the renovation of the London Courtauld gallery. 110 works, including the some of the best paintings by Manet, Seurat, Cézanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh. It’s also the first time that many of these French masterpieces first came back home after six decades.
To fill the grand exhibition halls that Frank Gehry designed, the foundation assembled another exhibition for their own collections, showing the works of the big guns of contemporary art like Joan Mitchell, Alex Katz, Gerhard Richter, Ettore Spalletti, and Yayoi Kusama.
From February 20th to June 17th, 2019. Again! Buy your tickets in advance, otherwise be ready for an hour of queue with all the other eager visitors. The good side is, you can always enjoy the surrounding Bois du Boulogne!
