Late hours - Gerhard Richter

LEVELS -1, 1 and 2

Departures every 30 minutes

In the company of one of our Cultural Guides, discover a multifaceted artist whose genius has generated creative works for 60 years. Through his vast oeuvre, relive the defining events of an era, swing from abstraction and figuration and delve into the private world of a studio artist. This unprecedented retrospective is of truly remarkable scope and timespan, bringing together 275 works from 1962 to 2024. 

LEVEL 2, GALLERY 8

Throughout the evening, Cultural Guides will provide visitors with insights into the work The Song Trapper, an immersive, multisensory video installation that is part of the Open Space programme and was created specifically for Gallery 8 by Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen. His works focus on little-known, rare or threatened ecosystems—desert lakes, underwater volcanoes, wetlands, glaciers—to explore a wide range of narratives, emotions and philosophies conveying the impact of our planet’s transformation. 

LEVEL 2 

There’s a fine line between abstraction and figuration! With Gerhard Richter’s Wolken [Clouds] works as inspiration, this workshop is a chance for you to create your own little corner of the sky. Using watercolour pencils, experiment with the soft, blurred lines so often seen in the German artist’s oeuvre.

Designed by artist Audrey Matt Aubert. 

HALL

Fip Squad is the Fip spirit behind the decks. From radio to the DJ booth, the same high standards and the same curiosity apply: hip-hop, groove, house, funk, disco, afrobeat… eclecticism as a signature.

AUDITORIUM 

Coming off an international tour of release-date concerts in places as far-flung as Mexico, German alternative pop group Zimmer90 has been invited to perform at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. The iconic duo of Finn and Josch weaves a musical world that’s both mellow and danceable in an ambitious creative project blending music, design and art. With soothing synth pads, disco basslines and percussion-rich dance beats, all accompanied by Josch’s delightfully distinctive vocals, Zimmer90 will sweep you away on a dreamy journey. 

HALL 

For this special occasion, La Cantine du Marché has invited Refugee Food, a non-profit organisation that hosts and trains refugee cooks and celebrates the rich diversity of the world’s culinary cultures. Try the gourmet menu – from the African influences of the chicken dibi sandwich with yassa sauce to the Mediterranean flavours of pan-seared halloumi – while sipping a sparkling cocktail.
