THE FONDATION LOUIS VUITTON SPRING EXHIBITIONS

This spring, the Fondation Louis Vuitton will present two exhibitions, in celebration of colour: “Fugues in Color” and “Simon Hantaï-the Centenary Exhibition”.

Fugues in Color 4 May to 29 August 2022 Galleries 8 to 10 Exhibition curators Ludovic Delalande, Nathalie Ogé and Claire Staebler, with Claudia Buizza (Artistic Direction of the Fondation) dedicate the entire top floor of the Fondation, to large presentation “Fugues in Color” (“La Couleur en fugue") exploring the diverse variations of colour, and extend into the architecture of the Frank Gehry-designed building.

Historic array of Drapes crafted by Sam Gilliam (United States, 1933), in the late 1960s, are shown here for the first time in France. These coloured canvases, which hang freely in space and form the foundations of his visual technique, marked a major turning point in the history of American abstract art. Juxtaposed with these are an array of Misshaped Canvas by Steven Parrino (United States, 1958-2005).

Works of Niele Toroni (Switzerland/France, 1937), thanks to considerable loans from public and private national and international institutions, will also be on display with works by Megan Rooney (Canada, 1985).

Katharina Grosse (Germany, 1961) also featured at Espace Louis Vuitton Venezia as part of the 59th edition of the Biennale internationale d’art contemporain from 22 April to 27 November 2022, will execute an unprecedented work commissioned by Fondation Louis Vuitton, which will be on display beginning in September.

This impressive panorama of the artist’s work spans three floors of the Frank Gehry building, covering a total of approximately 29,063 ft2.

For the first time, a largely unprecedented workshop collection of Hantaï’s works will be shown. A total of fifteen historical pieces are included in this collection, all of which are emblematic of his approach during the period of 1957-1965. The artist donated most of these works to public institutions, while others are held in large private collections in France or overseas.

Hantaï’s works are shown alongside the works of other major artists that had an influence on the artist, including Henri Matisse and Jackson Pollock, and Michel Parmentier and Daniel Buren, who were Hantaï’s peers in the 1960s scene at the Cité des Fleurs.

A French artist of Hungarian origin, who came to Paris in 1948 was recognised as early as 1953 by André Breton, who dedicated his first personal Parisian exhibition to him at the Surrealist gallery “A l’Etoile scellée”. On 19 May 2022, his three sons, internationally renowned musicians, will give an unparalleled concert consecrated to Couperin, Leclair, Rameau, see more on FondationLouisVuitton.fr.

To celebrate the centenary of Simon Hantaï’s birth (19222008), Anne Baldassari, General Patrimony Curator at Fondation Louis Vuitton, has selected more than 130 of Hantaï’s works, many of which have never before been shown, and the majority of which are large format works from 1957 to 2000, four of Hantaï’s major paintings, belong to the Fondation's collection.

The third member of the jury's jury will be announced shortly.

Leona König stated: "Last year it was Thomas Gottschalk, here I am very happy, to lead together with Alfons Haider in the final of 'Golden Note 2022'. For our jury, we have so far been able to win great personalities from the cultural world for the show with star violinist Lidia Baich and Rebecca Horner, solo dancer at the Vienna State Opera.

Zuhair Murad

M

"VERS LES JOYAUX DU TEMPS" urad proposes long dresses made for summer's events, yacht parties and variations of short cocktail dresses adorned with fine

chains and exquisite pendants for Murad's conquers.

As he dresses new explorers inspired by courage to discover the joyful future and nearly pirate-like bravery.

Maison Murad is one of the few to unveil a live couture show, where front row guests could admire up-close Murad's extravagant vision of maritime explorers.

Many evening and cocktail looks are completed with matching monochromatic tricorn hats.

The famous tricorne arose from the evolution of the broadbrimmed round hat worn by Spanish soldiers in the 17th century.

The hat style became a signature look at the royal court of King Louis XIV, who made it fashionable throughout Europe, both as civilian and military dress.

Tricorn hats, now playfully combined with pleated organza couture looks, give the wearer a sense of regality and majesty, sending her to a world of secret hidden islands and restoring the opulence of the high seas era.

Murad combines all this in a collection featuring a bouquet of pleated organza shirts with balloon sleeves, brocade waistcoats, midi skirts in sunray-pleated lamé fabric, cascades of tulle enveloping shorts, long dresses in silk chiffon, jumpsuits, and fitted jackets in crepe cady, as well as jewels incorporated into the textiles.

As the show progresses, in the elated interior of the Westin Paris, the very modern collection silhouettes were perfectly fitted to a seemingly longerlegged cast than what you normally see on a Zuhair Murad couture catwalk—that was enhanced by asymmetric dresses, often with a dramatic thigh-high slit, as in looks like draped burgundy red and a strapless black velvet gown, with sculptural neckline ruffles, a bustle, two diamond clips, and a wraparound belt around an asymmetrical bodice.

Murad's signature asymetric lines and Hellenistic drapery morphed into shapes that were more dynamic, more 21st-century, and more glamorous.

The floor-length dresses are so long and light that they touch the front row, as they fly in the air following the model, and it is possible to admire up-close silver embroidery on their outfits that is darkened on purpose, in striking contrast to the tangles of gold chains and pearls slung from the models' slender waists, In an all-encompassing palette dominated by the aged pink of maritime dawns.

Front-row seated guests included Heart Evangelista, who admired Murad's couture up-close with the pallid red of canopies faded by sun and salt, and the rust of oxidized metals, along with traces of the blue or green reflections coming from brocades and embroideries bring back to life the late 2010s flamboyance

VALENTINO

NATOMY OF COUTURE Haute Couture show by Pierpaolo Piccioli for Maison Valentino questions the feminine figure as a socio-anthropological construct.

Appreciating how the latter is more fluid, Piccioli adapts new cuts, savoirfaire, and mixes of materials to cut to the bone (no pun intended) to present a silhouette as unbiased as possible.

Held at Valentino’s gilded salons on the Place Vendôme, the intimacy of the show (in contrast to past couture shows staged in Venice) allows guests to appreciate its message and silhouettes, which are made possible by the Haute Couture ateliers, where everything is unique and finely tailored to fit each individual.

Acknowledging that there is no "one size fits all" ideal of beauty, silhouette, or age, while remaining faithful to the

Maison's aesthetics, Piccioli takes Valentino couture one step further and proposes a variety of looks that are not constrained by old social notions about women.

His new silhouette is a tribute to feminine anatomy in all of its forms and variations. And the atelier brilliantly brings his vision to life in a variety of individually fitting styles, such as Lara Stone's sequin tiny dress under an oversized white embellished jacket, revealing her black stockings, and Kristen McMenamy's plunging black dress, which she wore to begin the show. Marie Sophie Wilson, who is still modeling in her 70s, wore a blousy couture Tshirt in wool crepe over a glittery fishtail skirt to underline the show's message. Piccioli's candid portrayal of woman necessitates a reassessment of the status quo of beauty ideals and underlines how the body is the starting and ending point of the whole process. By N. Ahmet

Mabille, however, insists on keeping up the standard with every collection and look. As usual, the designer proposes lines that he describes as inherently feminine, timeless, and trend-proof as ancient Greek architecture, which finds its way into column-like pleated dresses and brightly colored couture.

The spring couture collection is strikingly free from embroidery, yet it blends delicate materials, embroidery and finishes like on backless dress in duchess satin adorned with 45 bowties that took 300 hours to make.

Mabille's couture is known for its lightness, but the woman who wears it exudes strength. His couture is admired by American artists and Gulf buyers alike, and his woman is undeniably modern and self-assured. Her way of dressing is seemingly poetic and nostalgic, yet uncompromisingly powerful with an eternal elegance and allure.

Métiers d'Art Lady Arpels Heures Florales Cerisier Inspired by the floral clock concept imagined by Carl Von Linné in 1751, the Lady Arpels Heures Florales Cerisier offers a poetic rendition of the passage of time, thanks to a special module opening and closing the 12 corollas on the dial. Telling the time becomes a spectacle, as the flowers blossom and close, renewing the scenery every 60 minutes. The watch displays a springlike tableau with ethereal blue butterflies – emblematic of Van Cleef & Arpels – fluttering between the pink and red corollas, in a striking relief effect.

Riviera Coast line In 2022, Baume & Mercier, Manufacturer of Luxury Swiss Watches since 1830, invites watch collectors to discover the French Riviera spirit, with several versions from the “Swiss-made” selfwinding “Coastline” models.

Riviera 10677 - Coastline in its steel case, with a gradated midnight blue lacquer dial, is set with 63 diamonds, that portray the seaboard of the French Riviera, beckoning to an adventure from Monaco to Saint Tropez. Like a sparkling summer wave, the exclusive gem-setting extends to a portion of the bezel, case and integrated steel strap, Baume-et-mercier.com.

The 43.9 mm-diameter case, available in a choice of white or rose gold, houses Calibre 77F1 whose balance oscillates at a frequency of 4 Hz. Calibre 77F1 features a unique asset in the form of its patented additional modules for the dual time-zone mechanism, the second timezone display, the programmable and reprogrammable mechanical memory wheel and the pointertype day/night display.

Part of this exceptional mechanism with its 55-hour power reserve can be admired through the sapphire caseback, elegantly adorned with Côtes de Genève.

Manufacture Breguet:

Hora Mundi

The Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Breguet launches a new interpretation of its Hora Mundi model within the Marine collection. The Hora Mundi became an instant hit at the time of its launch. This mechanical watch, which had taken three years to develop and been awarded four patents, featured a critical asset in the shape of an instantchange dual-time display with memory function.

A timepiece combining technical and aesthetic feats. is accomplished via the pusher and crown. Having selected the first cities time and date, the owner of the watch need only set the second city.

The watch mechanism then calculates the time and date by means of a clever system of cams, hammers and an integrated differential.

At that point, simply pressing the pusher is enough to travel from one end of the planet to the other, all without disturbing the accurate running of the watch.

Visual escapism The dial offers a fascinating interpretation of the world on the wrist by a play on materials and superimposed plates. On the first gold base, the hand-guilloché waves lap gently against the shores of the continents.

The sunburst dial base attired in abyssal blue creates the impression of a permanent waltz of the wave motifs. This effect may also be due to the way in which the continents are depicted: an additional plate made of sapphire is composed of the metallised meridians and the continents are treated to horizontal satin brushing, while their coastlines are subtly outlined with a metallic turquoise border. Finally, an outer flange serves as a support for the various elements present on the dial. The result features brilliantly crafted dimensions and surfaces thanks to various treatments requiring several weeks of work.

Essential details Making the dial legible while endowing each indication with a special aesthetic: for Breguet, luxury resides in the details – which is notably why the hours and minutes hands as well as the hourmarkers are adorned with luminescent material ensuring nocturnal legibility. The Sun and Moon positioned at 4 o’clock are hand-hammered to create a strongly realistic result. While the sun is a luminous rose gold, the moon is rhodium-plated and exudes a mysterious grey appearance.

Displayed through a 12 o’clock aperture, the date features an additional retrograde hand ingeniously placed beneath the aperture dial and featuring a delicately rounded “U-shaped” tip serving to encircle the date of each passing day.
