Les clefs d'une passion

Les clefs d'une passion was published in 2015 by the Fondation Louis Vuitton to accompany an ambitious exhibition of the same name. The exhibition served as one of the inaugural major projects for the Frank Gehry-designed building in Paris, aiming to explore the core pillars of modern art through iconic works that defined the 20th century. By bringing together seminal pieces from museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the foundation sought to articulate a dialogue between masterpieces of subjectivity, contemplation, and expressionism.

Curated under the direction of Ludovic Delalande, the publication functions as both a catalogue and a thematic study of the aesthetic values that shaped modernism. The design of the book reflects the foundation’s commitment to architectural precision and visual clarity, mirroring the structural sophistication of the building it honors. Upon its release, it was received as a scholarly contribution to the history of curation, recognized for its high-quality reproductions and its ability to contextualize historically disparate works within a singular, cohesive narrative of passion and artistic innovation.
