Henri Cartier-Bresson’s photography came to define the 20th century. This book tells his life story through his images: all the major events from his youth to his death in 2004 are described, contextualized and analysed in the light of his photographic work. From his early encounters with the Surrealists, his film work and his experiences in the SecondWorldWar, to the development of his own personal aesthetic, the concept of the ‘decisive moment’, and the foundation of Magnum Photos, his influence on the world has been profound and unforgettable.

The exhibition brings together five contemporary artists of international stature: Sam Gilliam (United States, 1933), Katharina Grosse (Germany, 1961), Steven Parrino (United States, 1958-2005), Megan Rooney (Canada, 1985), Niele Toroni (Switzerland / France, 1937). Their works are characterised by an expansive use of colour, which emerges from canvas to invade walls, floors, and ceilings. Within of the FLV, each of these artists will have a dedicated space. This book presents in an exhaustive way the works of the exhibition. Organised in five main parts, each being dedicated to an artist, it mixes texts by specialists and interviews with artists.Under the direction of Ludovic Delalande, Nathalie Ogé and Claire Staebler, with texts by great specialists in contemporary art: Jonathan P. Binstock, Philippe Dagen, Frank Gehry, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Florence Ostende, and Ludger Schwarte.

In the spring of 2023, Fondation Louis Vuitton will be holding Basquiat x Warhol... Painting 4 hands, the most important exhibition ever devoted to the collaborative work of these two artists. The exhibition will feature more than 100 jointly signed paintings, in addition to individual works by Basquiat and Warhol, and works by other major artists (Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, Kenny Scharf, etc.) in order to recreate the New York downtown art scene of the 1980s.From 1984 to 1985, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) and Andy Warhol (1928–1987) jointly produced about 160 paintings, some of the largest in their respective careers. A genuine artistic dialogue of style and form had developed between them that dealt equally well with crucial issues such as the integration of the African-American community into the narrative of North America, a continent where Warhol was a major manufacturer of icons.
