Vuitton Goes Hong Kong

April 7, 2009 by Marion Maneker

Women’s Wear Daily recounts the Hong Kong showing of Louis Vuitton’s art collection:

“Louis Vuitton: A Passion for Creation” is slated to run from May 22 to Aug. 9 at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. It recounts the French luxury firm’s long association with the art world, from the Art Deco designers who collaborated with the founder’s grandson on trunks to more recent hook-ups on leather goods with contemporary art stars such as Takashi Murakami and Richard Prince. [ . . . ] Selections from Vuitton’s permanent collection also will be on display, including large-scale works by the likes of Jeff Koons, Andreas Gursky, Pierre Huyghe, Gilbert & George and Jean-Michel Basquiat, plus videos from Rosemarie Trockel, Wolfgang Tillmans, Ange Leccia, Philippe Parreno, Zhou Tao and Ryan Trecartin, among others.
