Late hours "Gerhard Richter"

Departures every 30 minutes

In the company of one of our Cultural Guides, get to know this complex artist whose imaginative genius has inspired 60 years of creation. Through his work, ranging from abstract to figurative, relive the events that defined an entire era and delve into the private life of a studio artist. This retrospective is unprecedented in its scope and temporality, bringing together 275 works from 1962 to 2024. 

LEVEL 2, GALLERY 8

Throughout the evening, a Cultural Guide will provide insights into the work The Song Trapper, a multisensory immersive video installation created specifically for Gallery 8 by Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen as part of the Open Space programme. His works focus on little-known, rare or threatened ecosystems—desert lakes, underwater volcanoes, wetlands, glaciers—and explore a plurality of narratives, emotions and philosophies to express the impact of global changes.

LANDING ON LEVEL 2

Test your artistic talents as you walk the fine line between abstraction and figuration! With Gerhard Richter’s Wolken works as inspiration, this workshop is a chance for you to create your own little corner of the sky. Try different techniques using dry pastels and various tools to experiment with the soft, blurred lines so often seen in the German artist’s work.

HALL 

Stéphanie Fichard and Anaïs Ledoux, both music producers at the CRYBABY label, champion socially conscious, sophisticated, cutting-edge and celebratory music, like that performed by artists Léonie Pernet, Jeanne Added, Lucie Antunes and Yelli Yelli. For this Late Hours, they take over the Hall and present a bold DJ set inspired by the German artist’s expressive world. 

AUDITORIUM 

After several years of touring Europe and the culmination of their research with the release of the album Sequenza in 2021, French composer, producer and DJ Chloé and Bulgarian virtuoso percussionist Vassilena Serafimova join forces once again at the Fondation Louis Vuitton to present a captivating concert. In a symphony of machines and percussion, electronics and acoustics, they explore a world of creative possibilities, transforming the marimba into a creative medium and electronic music into a precious tool for sonic exploration. 

HALL 

La Cantine du Marché has lined up tasty new beverages with Germanic influences, including Bavarian beers, local juices, regional sparkling wines, and cocktails. For a substantial snack alongside, Gemüse, France’s gold standard in Berlin-style kebaps, whips up a colourful and hearty invention that’s an explosion of taste: a sandwich filled with fresh and grilled vegetables, marinated spit-roasted chicken and a liberal sprinkling of fresh cheese served in warm traditional Turkish bread.
